Bass told CNN's Dana Bass that it was "unfortunate" that the organizers of the Los Angeles Olympics are supporting Wasserman amid revelations that he exchanged flirty emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell two decades ago. Bass initially declined to take a position on the drama surrounding Wasserman, saying two weeks ago that it was up to the board of the LA28 Olympics - the nonprofit behind the Games - to decide whether to keep him.
Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed during a Wednesday hearing that Ghislaine Maxwell does not deserve special treatment, but she couldn't identify the reason behind Maxwell's recent controversial prison transfer. Sparks flew between Bondi and lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle when she appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Things became especially tense on the subject of the Department of Justice's ongoing release of files related to convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Williams went on CNN a few hours later and said the whole thing was rotten. It's kind of a reminder of how awful the pardon power is in our world right now. Because the framers drafted it, did not put any guardrails on it, and for the last 240 years or however long nothing has been done to restrain it, Williams lamented.
The former president appears repeatedly in the images. Several of the photos place Clinton at the center of Epstein's social orbit. He is shown aboard an aircraft with his hand on Michael Jackson's shoulder as Diana Ross looks on; standing alongside Mick Jagger and an unidentified woman whose face has been redacted; posing with actor Kevin Spacey; and in a swimming pool with Maxwell.
