Epstein Release Puts Melania at CENTER of NEW SCANDAL?!?!

You may want to sit down for this one. Melania is at the heart of the latest Epstein coverup scandal, this time involving the director of her documentary that Amazon paid $40 million, Jeff Bezos paid $40 million for a documentary

about Melania called Melania, directed by Brett Ratner. Guess whose photo showed up among the many photos in the trove of Epstein files. Brett Ratner, of all the directors in Hollywood, did she have to pick the one that four different actresses accused in 2017

during the height of the MeToo movement, that he had sexually assaulted them? Did she have to pick somebody who's in the Epstein files? And now we know why Donald Trump wants Rush Hour 4 made so badly with Brett Ratner as the director lobbying his buddies over at Paramount,

like Larry Ellison and his kid David Ellison, who are trying to buy CNN and all the assets of Warner away from Netflix. Confused? You won't be when I connect all of these dots. I don't even need red ribbon or red string

on a board to do it. I'm Michael Popock. You're here on Monday on Legal AF. We're following closely the Epstein story on all things Midas, including Legal AF for many, many reasons.

The main reason is we support the survivors. Lisa Phillips is gonna be on with me tomorrow. Lisa Phillips is gonna be doing a lot of work with, in collaboration with Legal AF moving forward. And with my law firm, the Popak firm, she's one of the leaders of the survivor movement,

having been a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's attacks. So it's personal to us as well. And the latest reporting coming out of USA Today, all they did was find the photo, but in there, Brett Ratner with a close friend, a fashion photographer, agent type of Donald Trump's,

friends with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, will put up the photo as we're talking about it. Brett Ratner, what became persona non grata, became sort of blackballed in Hollywood after a series of women, including Olivia Nunn and Natasha Henstrich, came out against him in 2017.

Which of course, our sexual assault felon in chief in Donald Trump was gonna lobby Larry Ellison, who owns Oracle, who's backing his son Paramount Skydance's bid to purchase Warner's assets away from Netflix, including CNN. See how this is all tied together?

And of all the directors and all the documentarians, the one that Melania picks is the one that's in the Epstein files, or the Epstein library, as they so strangely call the data dump related to Jeffrey Epstein on the American people. All right, let's get down to it. I thought it was weird that about a month ago, Donald Trump started lobbying for Rush Hour 4, you know, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker,

until I realized that the director would likely be Brett Ratner. Brett Ratner, the director of Melania. Melania, the documentary that Amazon overpaid, which some people see as a bribe to gain influence, pay to play Melania when the second highest bidder I think was Netflix or Disney which was like 20 million or 12 million. They didn't even go 20 million, we'll go 20 million in a dollar. We'll go 21 million. They went we'll go 40 million. Sure you will

Jeff Bezos. That's why you were sitting up on the dais during the inauguration. I'm sure you've contributed to the library. You've got Donald Trump and all of his tech regulations in your back pocket. That's why you overpaid the wife of the president to gain influence over Donald Trump. Is that not obvious? So you got that purchase, and we covered that at the time in real time, in real life, that Amazon and Jeff Bezos paid $40 million to Melania. And then there's the selection of the director. Why Brett Ratner, of all people? Why do they have to pick somebody accused? I mean, he wasn't

convicted of a crime, but accused publicly, shamed publicly for abusing women. Why does he have to be the director of the show about Melania? And then you see Donald Trump lobbying for Rush Hour 4. Now let's take a timeout and step back half a step. There's a bidding war going on right now between Netflix and Paramount,

yes, Rush Hour 4 studio, slash Skydance, which is owned by Larry Ellison, the billionaire, almost trillionaire Oracle owner, who's gonna be backing the bid with his own personal guarantee for $40 billion so that his son, David Ellison, NEPO baby extraordinaire, can get his hands on the Warner assets,

which includes CNN and lots of other assets and TV stations out there. Now while that's going on, you've got Netflix that's going to buy all the assets with its bid of about $30 a share, but really doesn't want CNN. So that's the fight. Donald Trump wants to get CNN into the hands of Larry Ellison, just like he got CBS, which was bought by, of course, Skydance, making Skydance Paramount or Paramount Skydance several months ago.

And we're already watching the results of that. Donald Trump not only settled his case with CBS once Ellison's family bought it, but he got a $30 million payment, including public service announcement, commercial credits. And on top of that, he also got them

to kill this weekend, a 60 Minutes report investigative report that would have been unfavorable about the Trump administration in complicit in the torture of human beings in El Salvador, in a prison called CICA. And then you got Melania at the center of all of it. Now we haven't even seen the photos come out. We know the other people that have knowledge that have testified and have given statements

like Michael Wolff about the relationship between Epstein and the relationship between Epstein and Trump and the relationship, how Melania fit in, why she was the perfect fit for all of that and now I got to hear that Brett Ratner is making her documentary and he's in the Epstein files let me show you a clip from the trailer for Melania hopefully it's the

only part of Melania that you'll ever see I can't even watch much of it but here's a minute just do you see what'm talking about. Let's play the clip.

Here we go again

You can come in. I promise you will be that of peacemaker. Peacemaker in the triumph.

Beautiful. Together, with like-minded leaders, we have a voice. Is it safe? It is safe.

Everyone wants to know. So here it is. Hi Mr. President. Congratulations. Did you watch it? I did not, yeah. I will see it on the news.

Now I like my presidents who are not all over a child sex predators files. Call me, call me a cockeyed optimist. You know, call me an old fashion. But I like my presidents to be straight. Look, I wasn't, I wasn't pleased that Bill Clinton, you know, half naked, you know, bare-chested in a whirlpool with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghisl Maxwell or Galen Maxwell and a young girl are in the photo cache either. I'm not pleased about that. I don't think

Donald Trump should be focusing all of our attention in the first batch on Bill Clinton's photo in order to distract attention from all the other things that are in the files that have yet to come out about Donald Trump. But anybody who is powerful or not powerful, who exploited girls, raped them, pedophiles, child sex traffickers, deserve whatever they have coming to them. This is not a Pandora's box that we're worried about opening. This is one that should have been, by multiple administrations, should have been investigated much better. It's just that every

time there's a link to Jeffrey Epstein, it always seems to flow back to Donald Trump. He gets a sweetheart deal from a federal prosecutor in Miami, Alex Acosta, back in 2007, 2008. Serves very little time while he continues to be a child sex trafficker. Alex Acosta ends up where? In the Trump administration as the head of the Labor Department. He gets rewarded apparently for giving Donald Trump's buddy a sweetheart deal.

Why does that have to be? Why does Alex Acosta with no labor background end up being the Labor Secretary? Of all the directors, it's got to be Brett Ratner. You know? Somebody also has his own accusations of sexual assault. And he's got to be in the Epstein files as well. Why? I would like to live in an Epstein-free world. Apparently I can't, while Donald Trump is still in office. That's why Donald Trump's

approval ratings are down to 36%. There was some poll that Fox found where he's always at 50, 50 favorability. I don't know what poll you're looking at, but though every poll, the poll of polls, the recent polls says he's got the lowest approval rating in the history of the modern presidency. And he's's he's like five or six points lower than Joe Biden at this point. So I think people are demanding an Epstein free zone. It's not that we're fatigued to support

survivors like you'll hear from Lisa Phillips tomorrow. It's that we anybody that has become contaminated through their poor judgment and character and or criminal conduct and being associated with Jeffrey Epstein has to go, has to be shown the door.

And that's why MAGA has splintered. That's why Trump has lost his grip besides his health is going down the drain. We're gonna look back and say it was the Epstein scandal, but more importantly, how Donald Trump worked so hard to cover up the scandal to protect friends in high places, himself, Galeen Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein,

instead of just coming forward and acting like a decent human being and a president of the United States and releasing the files without hesitation, without limitation, and get it all out there, instead of spending a year playing cat and mouse with the American people over something so depraved as protecting a child sex trafficker. And even toying with the idea, the fact that he's even toying with the idea of giving Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon. You know, when he was asked about it, well, you know, I haven't thought about it.

Can't you just look the American people in the eye and say the right answer? I'm not going to give Ghislaine Maxwell. The people have spoken, the jury has spoken. She's a convicted child sex trafficker. So we'll continue to follow it all right here. I'm glad you're here with us. You may have heard with your help,
