How did Ghislaine Maxwell get transferred to a minimum-security prison—and why is the government withholding the explanation? I talk with Bloomberg investigative reporter Jason Leopold about his fight for the records, and how anyone can use FOIA to demand answers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fmN...

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
