I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Liberal Democrat MPs have today tabled a motion in Parliament to remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board.

Robbie Gibb was appointed by Boris Johnson, he was an editorial adviser to GB News and a director of communications for Theresa May. He is not neutral or impartial.

Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

Jst released by House Democrats - emails written by Epstein

From Epstein to Maxwell 2011:

‘I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked yet is Trump… VICTIM spent hours at my house with him…’

Donald Trump has always emphatically denied any wrongdoing

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh
