"I wish her well, frankly." The orchestrated cover-up! [View all]
At the July 21st press conference Steve Nelson of the New York Post was allowed a non-corona follow-up question and asked about Ghislaine Maxwell. I think it was the only non-coronavirus-related question and was asked as a follow-up, one of the few he allowed that day.
Based on his articles, Steve Nelson seems to be a Trump-friendly reporter.

I contend Nelson was asked by the administration to ask this question so Trump could be sure to get his message to Maxwell which implies he's afraid of what she might reveal, whether concerning himself or his friends like Alan Dershowitz.
The message is obvious to everyone, but the probable orchestration (planting the question) has been pretty much ignored by everyone, but it points to Trump's planning, his deliberate attempt to give her this message and shows the level of fear he has that she will try to reduce her sentence by "naming names.".

Why couldn't he wait for this question to come up naturally (not in a Covid-19 dominated event)? Had Maxwell shown signs of possible cooperation? Had Barr relayed her negotiations with prosecutors? And why is Trump so worried that he had this question deliberately planted?
