You should check out ‘The Pugilist’. Alicia Valdez Rodriguez. She is doing some excellent digging into Epstein & Trump, along with so many others.

Good point but she spells her name Alisa Valdes Rodriguez.

Exceptionally well executed work Nina, thanks for sharing! When is your next book release coming?

She says she has 20 years of dirt on the Trumps. Is she not ready to release it yet?

She’s holding back in the hopes she’ll regain custody of her son. If they do return her son to her, it will come with major threats to silence her. So I’m afraid we’ll never get the full story.

It doesn't look like any new information came from this interview. What is the point?

This is a horrid experience for Amanda Ungaro to have lived since the age of 15 with a monstrous man. How awful for you. The more we learn about the Slovenian sphinx and Donald and Paolo Zampolli and Epstein the more repellent the stench of human depravity overwhelms. Thank you Nina Burleigh and Freakshow your arranging this interview and excellent reporting.

Look into a woman named Brina* Knaus. It is rumored that Melania gave birth to her when Melania was 15. Zampolli is supposedly the father.

Linda Malboeuf's avatar

No thanks. It’s too gross

Denise Kelly's avatar

Zampolli is one ugly dude

Holy Zampolli. Correction: un-holy POS predator scumbag disgusting & unclean man. Everyone must read this interview. To say that Amanda’s is a harrowing life story is to understate the matter, and her nightmare is ongoing. And yet another Florida WOMAN handmaiden to the tRuMp Crime Family is helping do the dirty work, in the person of State prosecutor Stacy Cleveland in Miami-Dade.

One detail was not clear to me: Amanda referred to Assholli attempting to have her imprisoned for six years, what was that about?

Kidnapping I think, for abduction after visitation had ended, but I could be wrong.

Is this another sasha riley kind of thing? Because shit needs to hit the fan and people need to be arrested.

A great leap for an expose’ but needs to be in-person, with lawyers and other witnesses, under oath (Brazil’s laws/rules), with any documentation. And before “accidents” can be arranged by people who have already proven to be ….. I don’t dare say it! Please, let her say it first so the whole criminal conspiracy can fall apart. Thanks for such reporting!!

She has the receipts, I believe. But will protect herself from harm( smartly), by the dribble, drabble, until the payoff for silence, matches the magic number in mind. Does she just want her Son? Or Money and Son?

Margie's avatar

Of course she wants her son. After the months in ICE, I believe she is more than deserving of monies. And Melatonin's ignoring her! I'd be pissed too! Give her the kid!

You lost me at AI discovery tools, sorry

Perhaps off topic but I am frustrated with hosts on these platforms forgetting that these people have family. At the same time of focusing on Epstein we have Crystal Hefner-Harris and her attorney, Gloria ! She is investigating the Foundation and Highs " Scrapbooking". Epstein also keep records. Crystal doesn't want her private information and photos out while the matter of minors Trafficking is on the side lines. Epstein mentions Hugh in his files. Including his auction.The Scrapbooking was exclusively handled by the Chief of Staff called " the gatekeeper" Chicago,Bolder, to LA decades my cousin Pat Kressman I believe I have some pieces of this puzzle. Apparently, they really are not looking for the files or uncovering all of the dirty deals. There has been no response to my writing. I'd be happy to share my growing up in the Chicago subs. Pat should be called in to tesify. She handled the Scrapbooks and every person meeting with Hugh.

I am still not sure who introduced Melania to Trump, this article states that it was not Zampolli, but it also does not say it was Epstein?

Why does Paulo always look so sleazy ?

Thank you Freakshow for your excellent reporting as always.
