What does everybody think about Jacob Wohl's response to the accusation that he was paid $25k by Ghislaine Maxwell "to smear Epstein victims and to get prosecutor Geoffrey Berman fired in attempt to stall sex trafficking investigation against her". I just watched his response in episode 16 of his show "Man Up" and it sounds like he's basically admitting that headline is correct. He points out various lies by those victims but overall, I think he just comes off as a sleazy cheap defense lawyer like the guy in Better Call Saul or the Trailer Park Boys. It seems like he's using lawyer speak to say that 'I've done nothing illegal and will take anybody's money to defend anything they've done'. This is the first time I've ever watched his show so to everybody else-- what do you think of the whole situation?

I figured that was fake news about him taking Ghislaine's money. Still need to watch the ep but its difficult to like someone who associates with a child trafficker.
No, he admits right off the bat that he did take the money from her with his "lobbying partner". Yeah I agree, especially when he denies being hired to "smear" the victims and then rattles off all the lies and inconsistencies they've said. Just seems so sleazy.
Not sure but I was hoping somebody who is a fan of his could speak up with a response and apparently that's not happening haha
Leads me to perhaps believe he doesn't have any-- which makes sense given his actions and attitudes.
