Pam Bondi reminds me of Patsy Ramsey

"Does someone actually think I would kill my child because she wet the bed?"

"It's just people you know, they're trying to find something."

"For the safety of all of the children, we have to find out who did this."

Patsy Ramsey was accused of involvement in her daughter JonBenét's murder, particularly due to a ransom note found in their home and the circumstances surrounding JonBenét's death.

Trump:
"I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff."
Trump then blamed "fake news" for keeping the story relevant.
Lutnick, who was Epstein's neighbor in NYC + lived in one of his previous homes, was laughing as he stood next to Trump.

"It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis ... saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

The equipment is controlled by the president’s own team and not the U.N.

A spokesperson for the U.N. backed up that claim following Trump’s complaint about the glitch, although the White House has denied it.

the same system occasionally glitched out during Obama’s addresses too.
