AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Jen Psaki responded on “The Briefing” to Eric Trump’s threat to sue her and MS NOW after she reported that he was introduced as a board member of the AI firm ALT5—a company linked to the Trump family’s cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial, and reportedly pursuing a deal with a Chinese chip maker tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Psaki clarified that while Trump was never a voting director, he was at one point listed as a board observer, a role that allows attendance but not voting, and that SEC filings and ALT5’s own website had previously identified him as a director before the title was altered. She underscored the company’s deep financial ties to Trump’s crypto venture and the broader context of the Financial Times story, then invited viewers to judge the accuracy of the claims, noting that a Trump representative had not responded to requests for comment.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Eric Trump Has Epic Meltdown at Primetime TV Host by William Vaillancourt
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Eric Trump announced on X that he will sue former White House press secretary Jen Psaki and her network MS NOW for “blatant lies” after Psaki claimed on a Wednesday night monologue that he was on the board of ALT5, was involved in a merger, and had business interests in China; Trump, an executive vice‑president of the Trump Organization, flatly denied any current or past role with ALT5, any Chinese investments, or participation in business discussions during the President’s China trip, saying he was there solely as a supportive son. Psaki’s remarks referenced a New York Times report about a possible Justice Department‑IRS settlement shielding the Trump family from audits, cited a Financial Times story alleging a fintech venture linked to the Trump family was exploring a deal with a Chinese chipmaker, and highlighted prior contracts secured by the Trump sons with the Pentagon, suggesting potential conflicts of interest. The article details both sides’ statements but contains no additional commentary beyond the dispute over the alleged business ties and the threatened lawsuit.

yahoo news | Psaki Laughs Out Loud at ‘Bananas’ Melania – Jeffrey Epstein Bombshell: ‘Am I Ha...
Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary now hosting MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” erupted in laughter as she introduced Melania Trump’s surprise press conference, calling it “absolutely mind‑blowingly bananas.” During the segment, Psaki replayed the First Lady’s brief statement in which Melania denied any ties to the late sex‑offender Jeffrey Epstein and condemned “false smears” that link her to his crimes. Psaki’s reaction highlighted how unexpected the event was, noting that even the White House staff seemed caught off guard and that the timing of the announcement left many wondering why the First Lady chose to resurrect the Epstein story now.
The article details how Melania’s remarks were brief but self‑important, emphasizing that she “never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.” Psaki mocked the seriousness of the moment, joking about whether she was hallucinating and speculating that the press conference might be an attempt to pre‑empt a story a reporter was working on. She also pointed out the absurdity that prediction markets had taken bets on what the First Lady would say, with most wagers focused on unrelated topics like education, peace, or AI—none of which matched Melania’s denial of any connection to Epstein.
Overall, the piece portrays Psaki’s commentary as both humorous and critical, using the unexpected press event to underscore the strange optics of a First Lady holding a formal, televised denial of a scandal that has long hovered in the public consciousness. The article concludes that Melania’s attempt to clear her name has reignited media interest in Epstein, while Psaki’s amused yet skeptical take serves as a reminder of how political communication can quickly become a spectacle.

#JenPsaki reminds us that #DonTheCon fired his very first Surgeon General (Tom Price) in 2017 for wasting taxpayer money on using government planes for personal use (costing taxpayers $400,000.) T**** called this "unacceptable".
Now we have FBI Director #Kashout #Patel & #DHS Sec #CosplayKristie, making Price look like a Piker.

Jen Psaki points out that in Donald Trump's first term, Cabinet members who wasted taxpayer money on personal luxuries like planes were cast out of the administration. Donald Trump appears to have lost his aversion to that type of abuse because making spectacles of themselves indulging in taxpayer funded benefits, but haven't prompted any scorn from Trump for doing so. Jon Lovett, co-host of Pod Save America on Crooked Media, joins Jen Psaki to discuss. Crooked Media podcasts will be featured on MS NOW beginning this Saturday, February 8 at 9pm ET.
From #JenPsaki last night: #Pamdemonium
"She didn't say No." Rep Ted Lieu asked #BlondiBondi if #PedoDon attended a party with #Epstein where under-aged girls were present, and her response was to attack Lieu and showered T**** with over-the-top praise.
"She could have just said No." 🤔

Jen Psaki shares highlights from the most bizarre and obnoxious testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, or any committee, in recent memory in which Pam Bondi blurted and shouted like a deranged A.I. bot in a desperate effort to avoid addressing her department's Epstein scandal.

Let us see it on purpose #pambondi
Maybe this is why the DOJ allowed the private viewing 2 days before the hearing.
Pam Bondi had hints on what questions might be from Ms. #Jayapal
