Alex Jones, longtime Trump supporter, accuses Trump team of plotting to silence Ghislaine Maxwell before Congress
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has accused former President Donald Trump and his administration of orchestrating a plan to silence Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, following news that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would meet with her before she testifies before Congress.
Just hours before the House Oversight Committee approved a motion to subpoena Maxwell, Blanche confirmed he planned to meet with her under orders from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead,” Blanche said in a public statement.
But Jones was quick to speculate that the meeting was not about seeking justice — but about shutting Maxwell down before she could speak publicly.
“So I just wish to heaven, whatever’s going on, and the advice Trump’s getting, and the things they’re doing, I mean, my Lord!” Jones said on his Tuesday broadcast of The Alex Jones Show. “Sending the Deputy AG to meet with Maxwell, as soon as the Democrats are trying to talk to her — and trying to cut it off at the pass before she testifies to Congress.”
Jones then suggested the Trump administration should instead discredit Maxwell rather than engage with her directly.
“I mean, they got a name for that. Why not just point out she’s a convicted human trafficker? You can’t believe a damn thing she says, I mean, seriously, you can’t ever.”
He went further, encouraging Trump to “poison the well” rather than risk being tied to Maxwell’s statements.
“And the media goes, oh, look, he’s telling Trump to shut up,” Jones continued. “He’s giving advice on how to cover up. No, that’s not what I’m doing. Any idiot knows that. Why are they doing the exact thing you would do to destroy yourself?”
“Trump is smart, this is unprecedented!” he exclaimed. “The idiot people go, ‘It’ll make the Democrats release the list.’ Trump can release it all, he’s in charge, you morons!”
