The far-left MeidasTouch Network – linked to Jeffrey Epstein associates as well as alleged sex trafficker P. Diddy – has bemoaned the ouster of establishment lawyer Charlie Spies after The National Pulse highlighted Spies’s history of anti-Trump activity.
Ron Filipowski, the network’s Editor-in-Chief, tweeted on Sunday morning, “Charlies Spies is out at the RNC. The last normie has left the building.
Spies was finally removed from his recently appointed Republican National Committee lead counsel position, after two months of internal fighting over the matter. The National Pulse understands that Spies was, in fact, fired upon President Donald J. Trump’s orders several weeks ago, though staffers waited until after the recent RNC Spring Forum at Mar-a-Lago to carry out his orders.
Filipowski’s accurate description of Spies as a “normie” underscores the former Bush and DeSantis lawyer’s closer political connections to the left of American politics than the MAGA right.
Spies, a personal friend of Marc Elias, was the first person to call for the U.S. government to investigate Donald Trump back in 2016. He even tweeted his congratulations to Joe Biden, and repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was free and fair, with no rigging, nor cheating.

Michael Cohen, the disbarred former lawyer to Donald Trump expected to serve as a star witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s election interference prosecution of the former president, is now a contributor to MeidasTouch. The far-left news network responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax has been described as the “front line” of the anti-Trump campaign by Joe Biden’s White House.
Cohen, an admitted perjuror and felon, is prominent among MeidasTouch’s list of contributors, directly below its Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs-linked co-founder Ben Meiselas.
Among several articles the disgraced lawyer has penned for MeidasTouch is one titled ‘My Testimony,’ in which he brags about having “accused Trump of a wide range of wrongdoings, including racism, tax fraud, and obstruction of justice” at seven congressional hearings.
The article argues witnesses like Cohen “must be protected when testifying against dangerous individuals like Donald Trump.” Among the dangers Cohen lists are “public scrutiny,” which he complains is “stressful and can damage [your] reputation.”
One such episode of damaging “scrutiny” was revealed in December 2023, when unsealed court filings showed he supplied his lawyer with fake legal citations made up by Google Bard and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program similar to ChatGPT.
Cohen blamed his lawyer, David Schwartz, for the fiasco, insisting it was up to Schwartz to check that the fake cases he supplied actually existed before placing them before a judge.
Prosecutors are aware of Cohen’s dubious character, having listed him as one of several witnesses in the case with “bad issues” in comments to prospective jurors.
ROGUE’S GALLERY.
Cohen is not the only controversial figure associated with MeidasTouch. The network, which began as a Democrat political action committee (PAC), received thousands of dollars from Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman, a visitor to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, in 2020.
Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, has also bankrolled Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley‘s primary challenge against Trump, E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against the former president, and legal defense of Russia hoaxers Fusion GPS.
Another early funder of MeidasTouch is the Lincoln Project, a Republican-in-name-only organization founded to oppose Donald Trump. Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver had to exit politics after over 20 young males, including a minor, accused him of harassing or grooming them.
Contributors besides Cohen include ‘Coach D’ – who believes America’s founders were all white supremacists, rapists, and pedophiles – as well as Karen Friedman Agnifilo, who worked for five years with Trump prosecutor Jack Smith.

MeidasTouch, the far-left news organization responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, boasts former Republican legislator Denver Riggleman as a contributor. Riggleman previously won plaudits from the left for collaborating with the Democrat-dominated January 6 Committee, which employed him as a senior staffer.
Riggleman began his transformation into an anti-America First crusader after local party officials censured him for failing to oppose “out-of-control spending” or mass migration in Congress. He was also criticized for failing to support “traditional family values, and other conservative principles,” and in particular for officiating a homosexual wedding for two of his staffers. This helped precipitate a successful primary challenge by now-Rep. Bob Good in 2020.
Described as an “intel expert” on his MeidasTouch profile, Riggleman was best known as a comic figure prior to the aforementioned controversies, with his 2018 election campaign marred by revelations concerning his penchant for “Bigfoot erotica.”
Democrat opponent Leslie Cockburn unearthed social media posts by Riggleman featuring Bigfoot or Riggleman himself as Bigfoot with oversized genitals for a fictitious book about the cryptid’s “mating habits.”
Riggleman self-published at least two tomes on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Exterminators, Inc. and Bigfoot… It’s Complicated. Cockburn claims she has read a third Riggleman book on Bigfoot titled Bigfoot Assassins, featuring a “key plot point about witches and menstrual blood.”
Bigfoot… It’s Complicated, published after Riggleman’s election, is “absolutely jam-packed with Bigfoot sex,” according to reviewers, with its very first chapter being titled, ‘A Discussion on Simian Genitalia.’
Riggleman claims in the book that he does not personally “dabble in monster porn,” though he plaintively asks: “How could someone kink-shame those gentle souls who take delight in the soulful, passionate moan of Sasquatch?”
MeidasTouch involves many unpleasant characters, including ‘Coach D,’ who believes America’s Founders were all white supremacist racist pedophiles.

Kenny Meiselas, the father of the three brothers who founded the MeidasTouch group, was introduced to his current wife by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, a.k.a. Puff Daddy, the hip hop mogul now accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Meiselas — whose sons Ben, Brett, and Jordy started the “bloodbath” hoax and are described by Joe Biden’s White House as the “front lines” of the campaign against Donald Trump — is a celebrity attorney and has worked with Combs for decades.
Combs reportedly played a highly active role in pairing him with Beth Katz Meiselas, a publicist to the likes of Jennifer Lopez. He took the attorney shopping for Cartier sunglasses and Versace suits to help make the match.
Combs also played a crucial role in paving the way for Ben Meiselas, Kenny’s son from a previous marriage, to enter politics. He took the younger Meiselas on as an intern, where he worked with Combs’s team on a voter registration drive in 2004 and attended the Democratic convention.
Ben eventually parlayed this nepotistic posting into an internship with then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

Former National Security Advisor and noted warmonger John Bolton made an appearance on MeidasTouch Network, the media organization behind the Trump ‘bloodbath‘ hoax. The Biden campaign promoted the appearance on social media.
During a softball interview with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs associate Ben Meiselas that was shared by the official Biden-Harris HQ account on X, formerly Twitter, Bolton asserted that former President Donald Trump poses a threat to U.S. national security.
“The basic problem is he’s not really fit to be president,” Bolton claimed. “When you come to trying to make decisions on national security issues, he’s not focused on what’s at stake for the United States, what our options are, how we can protect our interests.”
However, Bolton’s characterizations of Trump are at odds with the former President’s foreign policy record. While in office, Trump made historic advancements for peace in the Middle East and took steps to normalize relations with North Korea, both opportunities that the Biden regime has squandered. The former President also took steps to revolutionize the U.S. relationship with NATO, arguing that other members must pay more for the common defense — a position that has been taken up and supported by several NATO states in light of the Russo-Ukraine War.

Behind-the-scenes political intrigue exclusively for Pulse+ subscribers.
Music mogul and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently embroiled in multiple civil lawsuits alleging sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and rape. Federal agents with U.S. Homeland Security conducted raids on the rapper’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25 as part of the investigation. Combs, 54, has refuted all allegations, with his legal team describing the lawsuits as opportunistic attempts for monetary gain.
Combs faces accusations involving at least five women and one man.
CASANDRA ‘CASSIE’ VENTURA.
Last year, singer Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging that she was beaten, raped, and sex-trafficked by Combs on multiple occasions spanning a decade. She alleged the abuse began soon after they met. Combs signed Ventura to his label in 2005. She was 19, and he was 37. Ventura claimed that when she tried to end their relationship in 2018, Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
RODNEY ‘LIL ROD’ JONES.
In February, music producer Rodney Jones filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging he was “subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy at his direction.” Jones worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023. He claims that during that time, Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him. Jones’s suit also alleges that Combs hosted “sex-trafficking parties” featuring underage girls and illegaldrugs.
JOIE DICKERSON-NEAL.
Dickerson-Neal filed a lawsuit in November 2023 alleging that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her and secretly recorded the assault. The alleged assault occurred in 1991 when Dickerson-Neal was a college student. After “reluctantly” agreeing to go out to dinner with Combs on January 3, 1991, Dickerson-Neal alleges she was drugged, “resulting in her being in a physical state where she could not independently stand or walk.”
JANE DOE 1.
Also, in November 2023, an anonymous plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend in 1990 or 1991. The plaintiff alleges that after being invited by the two men to an afterparty, she “was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs.” She then discovered that her friend was “forced to have sex with Combs and Hall in another room,” according to the suit. Days later, the lawsuit alleges, Combs visited the plaintiff and her friend at their residence, where he became angry “and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out.”
JANE DOE 2.
In December of 2023, another anonymous plaintiff accused Combs of drugging and gang-raping her in 2003 when she was just 17 years old. The plaintiff alleges she was plied with drugs and alcohol at his New York studio before Combs and two of his associates raped her. Her suit accuses Combs of engaging in a “sex trafficking scheme” in which she was flown to New York on a private jet from her home in Michigan.
THE MEIDAS TOUCH?
Kenny Meiselas, longtime attorney for Combs, is the father of Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meiselas, the brothers who founded MeidasTouch Network, a White-House linked media organization that created the Trump ‘bloodbath‘ hoax. Ben Meiselas got his start in politics by interning for Combs, who was involved in pro-Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts at the time. The extent to which the Meiselas patriarch — or his son Ben — knew of Combs’s alleged sex trafficking schemes and rapes is unknown.
Combs is at least the third individual connected with MeidasTouch Network to be associated with alleged sexual crimes. The media organization was funded by the Lincoln Project, which was co-founded by accused sexual predator John Weaver. MeidasTouch Network also receives funding from Reid Hoffman, the E. Jean Carroll megadonor, a personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and a guest at Epstein’s notorious private island.

MeidasTouch Network, the news outlet responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax, took tens of thousands of dollars from the controversial Lincoln Project group when it was still establishing itself.
The White House-linked network received $42,000 from the Lincoln Project, a supposedly conservative organization, in 2021-22, when it was still a Democrat PAC.
The Lincoln Project was founded in 2019 by John Weaver, who worked on the presidential campaigns of John McCain and John Kasich. It styled itself as a torchbearer of traditional Republicanism, opposed to Donald Trump and his America First agenda.
It was soon mired in scandal, however, after over 20 young males, including a 14-year-old, came forward to accuse Weaver of sexually harassing or grooming them.
The Lincoln Project would eventually acknowledge its co-founder, a married man, was “a predator, a liar, and an abuser.”
Weaver also signed a $350,000 contract with Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy corporation, to lobby against sanctions in the same year he founded the Lincoln Project.
He backed out of the contract only after reports emerged he had registered as a Foreign Agent — but the episode has not stopped the Lincoln Project from repeatedly accusing Trump of being a Russian asset.

Authentic Brands Group, owner of Sports Illustrated, is suing MeidasTouch parent company Arena Group — and its controversial part owner, Manoj Bhargava — for $48.75 million plus damages for copyright and trademark infringements.
The 51-page lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, alleges Bhargava “repeatedly ‘opted for lawlessness’ in his dealings with Sports Illustrated, deliberately missing payments to license the magazine and interfering with its new operator,'” The New York Times reports. The lawsuit claims that “In less than five months, Bhargava’s new venture not only crashed and burned, but almost took SI down along with it.”
According to the lawsuit, Bhargava — the inventor of 5-Hour Energy — assumed control of Arena Group, Sports Illustrated‘s publisher, after buying up its debt and obtaining an ownership stake in the company. The lawsuit claims that Bhargava then ousted Arena Group’s former CEO, Ross Levinsohn, and installed his own loyalists to run the company. Arena Group had a preexisting deal with Authentic Brands Group to pay a $15 million annual fee for the license to publish Sports Illustrated. Bhargava allegedly skipped the payment this year and refused to pay a $45 million termination fee to Authentic Brands Group after it revoked Arena Group’s license for the magazine. The lawsuit says Bhargava threatened to “go nuclear” in response to Authentic Brands Group’s demands.
In March, Levinsohn filed his own suit against Bhargava, accusing him of “deliberately breaking contracts as part of a convoluted union-busting plan.” Levinsohn’s suit alleges that one of Bhargava’s first moves after assuming control of Arena was to request the Sports Illustrated swimsuit models tour his offices.
Bhargava and Arena Group also own MediasTouch Network, the controversial White-House-linked ‘pro-democracy’ news network responsible for the Trump “bloodbath” hoax.

Ben Meiselas, one of the three Meiselas brothers who founded the White House-linked MeidasTouch Network responsible for the “bloodbath” hoax among others, started his career by interning for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the hip hop mogul now under investigation for allegedly running a Jeffrey Epstein-style sex trafficking operation.
Combs, also known as ‘Puff Daddy’ and ‘P. Diddy’, is a longtime client of the Meiselas brothers’ father, Kenny Meiselas, a celebrity attorney who has also represented the likes of Lady Gaga, Lizzo, and Nicki Minaj.
Through this nepotistic connection, Ben Meiselas gained an internship at Combs’s Bad Boy Records, though he claimed in a 2018 interview that he “started at the bottom.”
“I was the first one to get in every morning, and he would send me on every possible errand. I’d be helping his assistants get ready for an event and I’d hear things like ‘That’s not the Diddy spoon!’” Meiselas said, adding that the experience taught him “to be a perfectionist and gave me insight into leadership.”
The internship with Combs, who attended Meiselas’s bar mitzvah, ultimately gave Meiselas his “entrée into politics,” according to Variety.
“In 2004 Puff led the ‘Vote or Die’ [voter-registration and awareness] campaign at MTV, and my role morphed from intern-gopher to working with his team on those events,” Meiselas explained. “I attended the Democratic convention that year, and through it all I developed a real love for politics.”
Meiselas went on to intern for then-Senator Hillary Clinton.

“Boston Brian,” a contributor for MeidasTouch, the White House-linked group behind the recent “bloodbath” hoax, is a self-proclaimed Antifa activist who enthusiastically advocates for violence against Trump supporters, who he tweeted are “domestic terrorists that are willing to kill other Americans.”
The social media links on Boston Brian’s MeidasTouch contributor page are now dead, but internet archives reveal a history of violent extremism via a now-scrubbed account by the handle “Meidas_Brian23.” His current profile is equally offensive, though slightly less violent in its routine rhetoric.
CELEBRATING VIOLENCE, WISHING DEATH.
Brian tweeted on January 28, 2023: “Tucker Carlson makes me sick… How dare you compare the murder of #TyreNichols to the treacherous behavior of Ashli Babbit!® #TuckerCarlson #tucker #FauxNews #FoxNews #racist”
Tyre Nichols was a black man who died of injuries sustained during an arrest. However, all of the officers involved in his death were black. Ashli Babbitt was an Air Force veteran who was murdered by police officer Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Brian’s implication appears to be that “treacherous” Babbit, unlike Nichols, deserved what happened to her.
On March 13, 2022, soon after Trump’s plane was forced to make an emergency landing due to a blown engine, Boston Brian tweeted: “Anyone else pissed at Trumps pilot for making a safe landing?” The implication is appears to be that President Trump, and even those who work for him, deserve to be harmed.
On June 8, 2023, Boston Brian posted a TikTok of himself smirking and nodding in front of a tweet announcing the death of conservative Christian activist Pat Robertson, along with the song “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead” from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Also, on February 25, 2024, he appeared to threaten all Trump supporters directly. “After WW2 traitors and collaborators all over Europe were identified, had their heads shaved and were paraded through their cities and towns with signs depicting them as the scum they were… Keep that in mind MAGA,” he tweeted.
Boston Brian’s enthusiastic embrace of violence and death is not surprising. His TikTok profile — TikTok being his primary method of communicating with the MeidasTouch audience — says he is “Fighting for Democracy..MeidasTouch..BLM.. Biden..Antifa.”
Antifa, identified as an example of “anarchist violent extremism” in an FBI domestic terrorism guide, is a loose coalition of international far-left anarchist and communist domestic terrorist groups that routinely commit acts of violence against those with whom they disagree.
Boston Brian is not the only MeidasTouch contributor with a penchant for extreme, unhinged rhetoric. Coach D, another of the site’s contributors, described America’s Founders as “white supremacist, racist pedophiles.”
