RFK: Spoiler for Trump?
RFK Jr. News ChannelThe #Democrats have launched a coordinated attack campaign against Independent presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. -- accusing him of (among other things) throwing the election to former President Donald Trump. "RFK Jr. is a spoiler for Donald Trump," said Matt Corridoni, a DNC spokesperson. He added that Kennedy is "now providing Trump cover by parroting #MAGA talking points downplaying January 6th." Meanwhile, the #Republicans are attacking Kennedy as a "far-left radical" as Trump himself said in a recent campaign video, but the former president also said in the video that he is "glad RFK Jr. is running" because he will take votes from President #Biden. Mr. Kennedy responded in a post on X today: https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1779899736176091407 It is true that many of #RFKJr's biggest financial backers are also top Trump donors, and there is without doubt a lot of cross-pollination within the two camps. Team Kennedy counts a lot of former Trump voters, volunteers, and supporters within the campaign's diverse political ranks. There is certainly a meeting of the minds and agreement on many key issues. But is this happening organically, or is it strategic? Are Team Trump operatives infiltrating the Kennedy campaign? We have to wonder. A campaign staffer working for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential bid recently raised the prospect of blocking President Joe #Biden from being re-elected by sending the election to the House of Representatives, where House members could elect former President Donald Trump, instead. Rita Palma, alongtime New York-basedcriticof vaccination mandates, appears in a recently uploaded video to be giving a presentation aimed at persuading #Republican voters to help Kennedy qualify for the state’s presidential ballot this fall. She identifies herself in the video as the campaign’s New York state director, though the campaign said Monday that she is a "ballot access consultant" and that her comments don't reflect overall campaign strategy. In those comments, Palma says that she knocked on doors for Trump's campaigns in 2016 and 2020 and has "more Trump T-shirts than I do Bobby Kennedy T-shirts" but that Trump "lost" her because of "the vaccines." Palma goes on to declare Biden the "mutual enemy" of the Trump and Kennedy voter and says her "No. 1 priority" is depriving Biden of his re-election, not helping Kennedy win. "Whether you support Bobby or Trump, we all oppose Biden.And my thoughts are that, you know, that’s the No. 1 priority in the country," she says in the video. And she outlines a specific way to do just that. While national Democrats focus on cutting Kennedy down in key swing states that typically decide elections, Palma pitches the prospect of depriving Biden of wins in blue states like New York. That, according to Palma, could keep both Trump and Biden short of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidential election, leaving the choice to the currently GOP-controlled House, which she says would choose Trump. In a statement,Kennedy campaign manager Amaryllis Foxdescribed Palma as a "ballot access consultant responsible for scheduling volunteer shifts for our upcoming signature collection drive in the Empire State" and said it should be no surprise that different Kennedy backers come from different ends of the ideological spectrum. “As an independent movement, our supporters, volunteers, and field organizers come from all sides of the political spectrum and their reasons for supporting Mr. Kennedy are as disparate as their backgrounds,” the campaign statement said. “She is not involved in electoral strategy, nationally or in New York. This was not a campaign event. Palma was speaking as a private citizen and her statements in no way reflect the strategy of the Kennedy campaign, which is to win the White House with votes from former Trump and Biden supporters alike," the #Kennedy24 campaign statement continued. Since #RFK announced his run for the White House a year ago this month (he was then running in the Democratic Party; Kennedy switched to Independent last October), there have been several discreet approaches from the Trump camp -- particularly Roger Stone -- asking Mr. Kennedy if he was interested in the VP running mate slot on Trump's GOP ticket. The answer from Kennedy was always "thank you, but no thanks." "There is no question that in a close presidential race," #Trump strategist Roger Stone told the New York Times Wednesday, "independent or minor party candidates can have a disproportionately large impact." In this highlight from Episode 27 of "Strange Bedfellows" we spoke to Roger Stone's longtime friend and personal attorney Tyler Nixon (who is also an RFK supporter) about why he wants to see a unity ticket of Trump and Kennedy this year. Nixon says such a pairing is the only way we can not only heal the divide but actually drain the swamp. While such a unity ticket seems unlikely, that does not rule out the possibility of Mr. Kennedy serving the Trump administration in a cabinet position or Ambassadorship, perhaps. (I'll just say right now that the son of Robert Kennedy running the Department of Justice would be like hiring Roto-Rooter to drain that swamp, Mr. Trump!) We also discussed the recent attacks on Kennedy from the #DNC, President Biden, and their affiliated media mouthpieces. Tyler Nixon grew up with the Biden family in Delaware, was close to the president's late son Beau Biden, and knows where the bones are buried, as the saying goes. Whether it involves denying Kennedy Secret Service protection, or photo ops at the White House with Kennedy's siblings who oppose Bobby's candidacy, or censoring his opponent's message in the media, Tyler Nixon knows just how low Joe will go to destroy RFK's campaign. He will tell us all about it on the show tonight. Don't miss this "Best of Strange Bedfellows" episode at 9 PM Eastern! Thanks for watching!

Will Trump's Assets Be Seized?
Lori SpencerThe New York Attorney General may start collecting former president #Trump’s assets if he fails to post a bond by next Monday. Trump was hit with a penalty that came to around $454 million after interest and would have had to pay a bond slightly higher than that amount to stave off the state from seizing assets, such as his many real estate holdings, to cover the penalty. An appeals court later ruled that he could instead pay a lower bond of $175 million. Trump posted $175 million bond on April 1 to prevent James from seizing his assets while he attempts to appeal the civil fraud ruling against him. New York Judge Arthur Engoron previously found Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, and The Trump Organization liable for a scheme in which the value of Trump’s net worth and assets were unlawfully inflated to obtain more favorable business deals. Trump, the presumptive 2024 #GOP presidential nominee, has maintained his innocence in the matter. The bond was then rejected by the court’s filing system shortly after it was posted due to missing paperwork, including a “current financial statement.” James, whose office led the fraud case against Trump, later raised questions about the “sufficiency” of the bond and noted that the surety backing it, Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), is not admitted in New York, meaning it’s ineligible to obtain a certificate of qualification from the Department of Financial Services. KSIC has refiled its paperwork as a result in an effort to get the process moving again. New York A.G. Letitia James cited a statute “which indicates that within ten days (that is—by April 15, as April 14 is a Sunday) either Trump or the KNIC must file a motion in court to ‘justify the surety.’ If not, then pursuant to statute, the bond shall ‘be without effect’.” If that happens, the state of New York can start seizing Trump’s assets immediately. On Episode 27 of “Strange Bedfellows” we spoke with Tyler Nixon, longtime ally and personal attorney for Roger Stone who knows a thing or two about #lawfare against both his client and Mr. Trump. You won’t want to miss what he has to say about this case! Watch the premiere tonight at 7 PM Eastern.

Trump vs. Fani Willis: Round 2!
Lori SpencerFulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is pushing back on the latest attempt by former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants to disqualify her entire office from prosecuting the election subversion case in Georgia, according to a new court filing Monday. Willis asked the Georgia Court of Appeals to uphold Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s initial ruling that allowed her to remain on the criminal case if her top prosecutor, Nathan Wade, resigned. Wade resigned within hours of McAfee’s ruling last month. The appeals court is weighing a request from #Trump and several others charged in #Georgia to review and overturn McAfee’s earlier decision. Willis argued on Monday that the appeals court should deny that request. In Monday’s filing, the Fulton County district attorney’s office insisted again that there was no conflict of interest and said that Willis’ comments about race playing a role in criticism of her office did not rise to misconduct requiring disqualification. While Willis has attempted to shift attention back to the criminal case itself after the detour over ethics allegations for more than two months, Trump and his co-defendants are still arguing the romantic relationship between Willis and Wade created a conflict of interest. “At a minimum, DA Willis and her office should have been disqualified from prosecuting the case,” Trump’s lead Georgia-based attorney Steve Sadow wrote when he asked the appeals court to take up his case. “The Georgia Court of Appeals should grant the application and accept the interlocutory appeal for consideration on the merits.” It is now up to the Georgia Court of Appeals to decide if they want to review the decision not to disqualify Willis and her office. This appeal doesn’t pause the prosecution, which continues to play out before trial. In this highlight from Episode 27 of “Strange Bedfellows” we spoke to longtime Roger Stone attorney and confidant Tyler Nixon about the latest round of #lawfare against the former president, watch some highlights from the courtroom, and hear his legal analysis of the Fani Willis/Wade affair.

Trump's Troubles (Strange Bedfellows, Ep. 27 w/ Tyler Nixon)
Lori SpencerFrom allegations of plotting to overturn a lost election to illegally stowing classified documents at his Florida estate, former President Donald Trump faces four criminal indictments in four different cities as he vies to reclaim the White House. The cases, totaling 91 felony counts, are winding through the courts at different speeds. Some might not reach trial this year, while one is set to begin in a matter of weeks. Then there are the civil cases. On Friday a judge ordered the former president and his companies to pay nearly $355 million in a ruling in the New York civil fraud case, and barred #Trump from conducting business in New York for three years. A recent ruling in the E. Jean Carroll case will set Trump back yet another $83 million. Meanwhile in Georgia, prosecutors on Friday called witnesses to push back on claims that a romantic relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis and Nathan Wade — the prosecutor she hired to lead her case against former president Donald Trump — should disqualify her. Trump and his co-defendants are seeking to have Willis removed from the case over the relationship. At this point, we need a team of lawyers just to keep up with Trump’s court calendar, and the litany of lawsuits he’s juggling. So we called one of the best legal analysts we know to break all this down for our viewers. This week on “Strange Bedfellows” it’s a pleasure to welcome back to the show Tyler Nixon, longtime friend to and personal attorney for Roger Stone. He is also a the host of “The Tyler Nixon Show” on the TNT Radio Network. We last saw Tyler on Episode 16 of “Strange Bedfellows” in October 2023. Tyler Nixon attended Georgetown University and The University of Virginia Law School, served in the U.S. Army’s Berlin Brigade and did a tour of combat duty in the first Iraq war. Later, he served as a staff assistant to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, worked on the presidential transition team for President George W. #Bush in 2001, and on #Republican Ron Paul’s presidential campaign in 2008. Nixon is an Army Infantry Veteran, #Conservative, Constitutionalist, Advocate, Writer, Technologist, Critical Historian, and a self-described “extremist in the defense of liberty.” Tonight we will get Tyler’s legal analysis on Trump’s latest legal troubles, hash out that rumor of a Trump/#Kennedy ticket that keeps going around, plus a whole lot more. A fascinating conversation is always guaranteed on “Strange Bedfellows.” Join us live from 9-11 P.M. Eastern Saturday night!

BREAKING: Epstein Documents Released
Lori SpencerOver 2000 pages of unsealed documents from a lawsuit connected to accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein were publicly released on Wednesday. This is the first set of documents to be unsealed under a December 18 court order, with more expected in the coming weeks. The documents in total, including material yet to be unsealed, are expected to include hundreds of names, including some of Epstein’s accusers, prominent businesspeople, politicians and potentially more. The document dump arrived late Wednesday evening, January 3rd, while Maverick News was live on the air. I dived right in and already found some eyebrow-raising revelations. Here’s what I’ve discovered in the court documents so far about former Presidents Bill #Clinton and Donald #Trump, 2024 Independent presidential candidate #RFKJr, Epstein’s former attorney Alan #Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, as well Michael Jackson and Steven Hawking (both deceased). Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial five years ago. His convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in 2021 and remains in prison. Maxwell released a statement Wednesday maintaining her innocence. Watch my report!

Elizabeth Beck: FEARLESS Lawyer Sued Trump, the DNC, and Elon Musk
Lori SpencerThere’s nothing democratic about the Democratic Party, and our guest tonight knows that from first-hand experience. On Episode 17 of "Strange Bedfellows" we spoke to Elizabeth Lee Beck, the attorney who sued the Democratic National Committee in 2016 in a class-action lawsuit alleging that the #DNC defrauded individual #Bernie Sanders supporters by rigging the primaries for Hillary #Clinton. (The case was dismissed in 2017.) In addition to the #DNCFraud lawsuit, Beck has also sued former President Donald #Trump twice (in 2011 and 2015) and questioned Trump in court depositions. We will ask her thoughts on Trump’s current legal battles. Earlier this year, Beck sued Twitter (now X) for breach of contract over the suspension of her account and that of her husband, attorney Jared Beck, four years ago. When Elon Musk bought Twitter last year, he pledged to restore all previously banned accounts that hadn’t violated Twitter’s Terms of Service. When the Becks’ accounts were not restored as promised, they took Elon to court. In their complaint, the Becks assert that they were suspended for “engaging in political speech antagonistic to the establishment Democratic Party interests.” We will get the latest from Elizabeth Beck on where that lawsuit currently stands, and discuss the future of #FreeSpeech on X and other social media platforms as the 2024 election season heats up. On “Strange Bedfellows” we talk to fascinating people from all sides of the political spectrum, and always find points of agreement. A great conversation is always guaranteed!

Will RFK Take Votes From Trump?
RFK Jr. News ChannelEven before #RFKJr left the #Democrats to run as an Independent presidential candidate, pundits already started speculating, "who will he hurt most, #Biden or #Trump?" #Kennedy says he thinks he will take votes equally from both. I predict Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will actually take far more votes away from Donald Trump than he will President Joe Biden. Based on my interactions with thousands of #Republican voters and #Kennedy24 campaign volunteers, I see him generating tremendous excitement among #GOP stalwarts, particularly with the #MAGA faithful. In this recent highlight from Episode 16 of "Strange Bedfellows" I spoke with Trump ally Tyler Nixon, also a longtime friend of Roger Stone. Nixon attended Bobby Kennedy's speech in Philadelphia two weeks ago in which he declared his Independence, and in this interview Tyler shared with me why he's giving #RFK serious consideration. His reasons I've heard articulated by thousands of former Trump voters after six months as a volunteer recruiter for the Kennedy campaign, as to why they're making the switch from Trump to Kennedy. If Team Trump isn't worried yet, they should be. Look out, President Trump! Kennedy's coming for you!
