Having some trouble keeping their story straight... First - Bondi on Hannity in January of 2024 slamming Clinton for taking Epstein's plane "multiple times."

"Someone told the party that Donald Trump had invited them all to a party at Mar a Lago. REDACTED told Villeneuve she wanted to go, but Villeneuve told REDACTED it wasn't that kind of party, it was for prostitutes."

Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar in 2019: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch.'" (Allegedly)
