The cabinet members discussed initiating a subpoena against Ghislaine Maxwell, with potential diplomatic implications due to her association with Epstein. The conversation also touched on President Trump’s upcoming meeting with the Philippine president.

Waltz (11:44 am ET): Initiating protocols for subpoena against Ghislaine Maxwell today. Possible fallout from Epstein dealings might affect various diplomatic relations.

Vance (11:48 am ET): Always fascinating how these things have a habit of resurfacing at the most inconvenient times.

Rubio (11:51 am ET): I gather Trump’s meeting with the Philippine president is happening today. Any insider info on what to expect?

Hegseth (11:55 am ET): Probably another bromance in the making. Reminiscent of the North Korean episode, wouldn’t you say?💪🇺🇸

Gabbard (11:59 am ET): Couldn’t we have just enjoyed brunch without bringing up North Korea, Pete? By the way, anyone try that new Russian café downtown?

Waltz (12:01 pm ET): That’s not why we’re here, Gabbard. Let’s stay on topic.

Miller (12:05 pm ET): Gabbard, just because you’re obsessed with Russian cuisine doesn’t mean we all are.

Gabbard (12:07 pm ET): Just trying to lighten the mood, Stephen. No need to spew venom.

Rubio (12:10 pm ET): Guys, let’s stay focused. This Epstein case could have serious implications if not handled correctly.

Vance (12:12 pm ET): Agreed, Rubio. And let’s not forget the potential impact of the Philippine meeting. We need to tread lightly, considering our Asian alliances.

Hegseth (12:16 pm ET): Especially with China breathing down our necks🔥

Waltz (12:19 pm ET): Indeed. We need to strategize appropriately.

Wiles (12:25 pm ET): Good point, Waltz. This Epstein case, the meeting with the Philippine president. Everything’s interconnected.

Witkoff (12:30 pm ET): Well, as long as we can keep Trump from saying anything he’ll regret on Twitter. We should be fine.

Bessent (12:32 pm ET): Has anyone considered the potential economic impact of these developments?

Vance (12:35 pm ET): If by ‘impact’ you mean ’total disaster,’ then yes.

Kent (12:38 pm ET): Let’s not overstate things, Vance. It’s not the end of the world. Yet.

Ratcliffe (12:40 pm ET): Agreed, Kent. Let’s come up with a plan instead of predicting doom.

The conversation continues predictably along these lines for some time. The cabinet members discuss various issues pertaining to the Epstein case and the meeting with the Philippine president, interspersed occasionally with off-topic chatter about their personal lives. Despite some heated moments, the conversation remains fairly civil and businesslike.
