Last June, the man credited with introducing President Trump to his wife asked the administration for a favor.
Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent turned presidential special envoy, had learned that his Brazilian ex-girlfriend was in a Miami jail, arrested on charges of fraud at her workplace. They had been in a custody battle over their teenage son. Now he saw an opportunity.
He reached out to a top official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, explaining that his ex was in the country illegally, according to records obtained by The New York Times and a person familiar with the communications. Could she be put in ICE detention? That could help him get his son back.
The official, David Venturella, promptly called the agency’s Miami office to ensure that ICE agents would pick up the woman from the jail before she was released on bail, according to the records and a person with knowledge of the conversation who requested anonymity to discuss it. During the call, Mr. Venturella noted that the case was important to someone close to the White House.
Oh.
Holy hell please let this be the reason Melania ran to the press: the guy who imported her, Einstein visa and all, used ICE to deport the mother of his child.
Zampolli was in Hungary w/JD.

Lee on Epstein Files: We’re not going to stop “bitching” about this.
Why is somebody who has a lot of money able to buy this much protection? Why should you be able to get away with heinous crimes like this if you’re a president, a prince, or a CEO?

Bruce Springsteen is currently playing to a #NoKings crowd of over 200,000 people in Saint Paul Minnesota right now!
Trump is using government to hurt people who disagree. That is what kings do to scare others. We will not be scared. We will not be silent.

Video of Trump backing out of the Iran Deal in 2018. The deal would have allowed inspections to ensure that Iran wouldn’t develop nuclear weapons.
Trump failed to get a new deal and has now announced a new and potential forever war with Iran.
