MMA fighter rips prosecutors for indicting Trump 'before anyone on Epstein's client list'
Joel 'King Bau' Bauman made the statement when entering the ring on Friday
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Before his fight against Curtis Millender on Friday night, MMA fighter Joel Bauman made a strong stance on how he feels about the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Trump is currently facing charges of hush money payments, taking classified documents from the White House, and trying to overturn the 2020 election.
But Bauman, whose nickname is King Bau, seemed to insinuate that prosecutors do not have their priorities straight.

A number of big-name actors, politicians and other public figures have reportedly been passengers on the plane at some point.

Dubbed by some in the media as "The Lolita Express," Epstein's plane was allegedly used to fly underage girls to his private island in the Caribbean, as well as his other homes around the U.S. and other parts of the world.
