Morten Morland at his finest.
A source confirms to me that this disturbing letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM is real.
Re-upping with this, by far the more read thing in my feed lately. By @adambonica.bsky.social
I thought his personal reflection interesting.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Revealing, if true.
Well overdue for media to ban “drops” by political parties that insist no third party comment can be sought. Insidious, does not serve readers. (The Age banned them at a state level, or at the very least discloses that that was a condition for the story). Time for it to end in Canberra.
