There are notes FBI agents took by hand during interviews in the Epstein investigation. Judge Emmet Sullivan wants them handed to the court for private review. He also ordered the DOJ to start reviewing Epstein pages written in foreign languages. What is in them❔ Sources: Axios, Newsweek

I once had the highest respect for the FBI, Justice Department, and the Supreme Court. Now, I hold them in the lowest regard possible. How’s that for making America Great Again? Not in my book!
