Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, August 03, 2026

A Jeffrey Epstein-linked French modeling scout who was discovered dead at his home last month was quietly operating an anonymous online account devoted to praising President Donald Trump, according to two researchers who say they traced the account back to him " a finding they called "unbelievable." "I know that sounds unbelievable. So let's walk through it," reads a report published Saturday co-authored by Princeton University associate professor Katie Chenoweth and writer Bekah Day. Daniel Siad worked for MC2 Model Management, an international modeling agency that operated out of New York, Florida and Tel Aviv, Israel, that was founded by Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout who launched the agency with considerable financial backing from Epstein. Brunel was later accused of being involved in sex trafficking in association with Epstein, and died by apparent suicide while awaiting sex-trafficking charges in 2022.

Running a pro-Trump website didn't save his life?

Donald is one cold bastid.

I'm conflicted; don't know who is knocking off these potential witnesses to Trump's crimes... Mossad or SVR (KGB as avg Russians still call them).

But we agree that it's someone.

I'd bet that the suspects are close to home.

"I'm conflicted; don't know who is knocking off these potential witnesses to Trump's crimes... Mossad or SVR"

From the article: Daniel Siad worked for MC2 Model Management, an international modeling agency that operated out of New York, Florida and Tel Aviv, Israel.

Does that answer your question?

Probably; I read that... but one can never be too sure, could be either or both.

The kompromat on DJT is pretty obvious either way.

From the US-held Epstein files so far released:

"Daniel Siad is referenced in correspondence involving Jeffrey Epstein dated 22 October 2012. He was contacted regarding another individual whose whereabouts had not yet been confirmed.

Email recipient: Identified as receiving a message from Epstein concerning someone else's status
Date of interaction: Monday, 22 October 2012
Subject line significance: Indicates inquiry about unconfirmed communications or presence of a third party - possibly linked to travel arrangements, events, or personal contacts tied to Epstein's network"

French holdings on Jean-Luc Brunel not released to the public probably have much more data on the late monstrous David Siad.
