The Daily Mail reports:
Ghislaine Maxwell hired fake news purveyor Jacob Wohl to smear her and Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims, a former friend has told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview. As part of a $25,000 deal made in June, Wohl and his lobbyist colleague Jack Burkman also allegedly pushed to get New York US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who had led Epstein’s case, fired in order to stall or stop the criminal investigation into Maxwell.
Wohl and Burkman are far-right lobbyists who have become a laughing stock in DC after several failed attempts to smear top political figures including Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Cruz, Robert Mueller and Dr. Anthony Fauci by paying women to make false claims of sordid affairs and drug-dealing. When contacted for comment Wohl told DailyMail.com that Maxwell ‘deserves representation’.
Law & Crime reports:
Jeffrey Epstein‘s former girlfriend and alleged groomer Ghislaine Maxwell may have hired conservative activist and would-be smear artist Jacob Wohl for unknown reasons, according to a lobbying disclosure form filed with the U.S. Congress. Notably, the effective date of representation on the lobbying disclosure form is July 3 — the day after Maxwell was taken into custody.
According to an LD-1 Disclosure Form filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate, J M Burkman and Associates — a lobbying firm owned by far-right activist Jack Burkman and co-run by Wohl—claims to have been hired by “Granite Realty [sic] LLC” in order to lobby on “[i]ssues relating to US DOJ, Senate Judiciary, [and the] House Judiciary.”
I just got back from a hipster coffee shop where everyone was talking about how this story seems almost certainly false and planted by Jacob Wohl himself https://t.co/ZygcpRRmwG

So if I'm reading this excellent thread correctly, Jacob Wohl's latest grift is to frame himself as an accomplice to a child rape ring. Which is pretty wild and illogical even for Wohl. https://t.co/BMGO1uaStX

Jacob Wohl is extremely good at only one thing, and that one thing is implicating himself in federal crimes.

Reminder: Jacob Wohl took pictures of himself in front of the same fence and claimed to be traveling the world. He’s not only a liar with delusions of grandeur, he’s also really, really stupid. pic.twitter.com/dTladtJbBu

All you need to know about this Wohl story that the Mail missed: Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman registered as lobbyists for Granite Realty LLC. But Ghislaine Maxwell's company is Granite Reality, with an "i." In other words — the company they're working for isn't Maxwell's.
