The Epstein scandal deserves a real investigation, not the fraudulent cover of Trump.

Donald Trump is anxiously disabled by reality – and never more than when he is asked about his close friend of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019 while in prison, waiting for trial for children for sex. This Tuesday, Trump was asked about Epstein during a meeting with a television office, where he and his inner circle took questions to journalists. Trump’s behavior across the event caused a trouble for those who believe that the president’s seat should have a minimum level of functional knowledge.
Trump unleashed it Now a familiar flood of lies– It looks like the claim that China, the leader of the wind in the wind, has “very little wind turbines. He too went on a peculiar retreat About possible “gold“The scientific formation of the cabinet ceiling, saying,” It won’t look good because they never found paints like gold. So, the coloring is simple, but it won’t look right. “While the president was physically present in the room, he was not really there.
Trump started splashing with rage when reporter Stephen Nelson with Trump’s support NEW YORK POST Epstein, which appeared in the news since Sunday after the Ministry of Justice and the FBI received fair declared This Epstein’s death was a suicide that there was no “customer list” that Epstein used to blackmail many famous associates, and that there would be no more charges against anyone related to the case.
These conclusions are naturally brazenly asked The claim that Epstein committed suicide and claimed that the government covered its crimes. In February, the Prosecutor General Bondi Even said Fox News This Epstein customer list “Sits on my desk now”. Now she claims that she just talked about Epstein’s “file”.
Stephen Nelson asked for this, and raised the relevant point about Alex Akosta’s statement, who held the post of Minister of Labor during Trump’s first term and before he was a US prosecutor in Miami, who concluded a cute deal with Eps in 2007. When he was conducted on the Trump transition team in 2016, Acosta, Acosta warned them about the case of Epstein: “I was told that Epstein belonged to exploration” and leave it alone. “Neither Trump nor Bondi wanted to answer the elementary question to which the intelligence agency, foreign or internal, Epstein belonged.
Instead, Trump fell with the affected wrath At the very nurturing of the Epstein name, it is inherently contemptuous. “You’re still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? They talked about this guy for years,” Trump was raging. “People are still talking about this guy? This is a creep? It’s incredible.” He added: “I can’t believe you are asking Epstein at such a time when we have the biggest success, as well as the tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like defilement.”
Trump has good reasons to want Epstein to go to ancient history. Despite the fact that the Democrats never went to election, Trump was a close friend of Epstein for many years. In 2002 Trump detach New York Magazine “I know Jeff 15 years old. Age guy. It is very fun to be. It even said that he likes beautiful women like me and many are at the younger. Trump claims he has broken up with Epstein before he was convicted of sex crimes. described Trump as one of his “closest friends”.
Trump is not the only one who wants to move from Epstein’s case. Writing in Washington PostAmber Philips raised Trump administration for encouraging Epstein’s conspiracy theories – which she claimed to come from “extreme right” groups. According to Philips, “this week, in the Foreign Right War, it is fighting from the unjustified beliefs, which the Trump administration officials helped to unravel the flames: the alleged existence of the secret list of powerful people who paid the financier Jeffrey Epstein for sexual abuse.”
According to this logic, the sin of Trump is not that he covers the case of Epstein, but that he and colleagues -the republics raised the theory of conspiracy. This is a consolation story for those who can want Epstein’s story to be buried and forgotten, but it is little sense.
Given this, the statement is that the history of Epstein is “unreasonable” and the “conspiracy theory” is inappropriate. When Epstein died, he faced sex trafficking. His accomplisher Gislain Maxwell was Convicted for trading sex In 2022. In men who encountered Epstein and Maxwell, in particular Prince Andrew from the UK, have Paid financial settlements Victims. Do we expect that we will believe that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in trading sex and supported the company with powerful figures, but no one except Epstein or Maxwell is guilty of any crimes?
Miami Herald journalist Julie Brown whose Excellent reporting Led to Epstein’s fracture in 2019, outlined a lot of objections against the statement of Trump administration that the case was closed. On the Social Media X Joh noted“The Epstein’s death report contains numerous” security failures “at the time of his death. Thus, if the FBI did not find an additional video – because the probe was released Doj – these are not convincing.” Brown further noted this
There is a large number of FBI/Doj files that have not been released, or those available are so darken that they are unread. The FBI and Doj can release these files (editing the victims) so that the public knew what the FBI did – and did not do – to investigate others involved in the Epstein sex trading operation. “List” is a red herring – but it does not mean that there are no names in these FBI files.
Brown also retinites a statement from Senator Oregon Ron Widen, who noted“Given the evidence that my investigators saw, it falls on the cover.”

It is important to note that Alan Dershovitz, a longtime lawyer of Epstein, who agreed on his sweet treaty of 2007, confirmed that there was a cover. In the video, dershowitz – Note“I know that the documents are suppressed by the fact that they are suppressed to protect people. I know their names and why they are suppressing, I know why they are suppressing, I know who suppresses them.
To their merits, the Democrats in Congress and some Republicans challenge this cover and call for further investigation. The Guardian reports“Member of the House of Representatives Committee’s rating, Jamie Raskin, together with 15 other Democrats, sent a Six pages letter US Prosecutor General Bondi, accusing her of holding some Epstein files to protect the president from any harmful disclosure. “But it is not only the Democrats raising these issues. Tuesday wrote on Twitter“Was Epstein a government asset?” This is not a bad question.
The fact that the Democrats accept the Epstein case causes a feeling. Politically, it should be done both in essence and because it shares Republicans. The Epstein case is an extraordinary version of the Plutocracy problems that Bernie Sanders tried to make the Democratic Party’s major politics.
But it should be noted that the Democrats were very late for Epstein’s investigation, allowing the theorists of the extreme right conspiracy to dominate the discourse. This may be because the Epstein circle included famous members of both sides. In 2019, Christina Pelosi, the daughter of the then Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Twitter“This case is Epstein’s awful, and young women deserve justice. It is likely that some of our supporters are involved, but we must follow the facts and allow chips to fall where they can – whether Republicans or Democrats.”
Who are these “favorites”? One of the name Named in court documents in the Epstein case Together with the deceased, the governor of New -Mexico Bill Richardson.
When the Democrats in the past pull their political strikes on Epstein, they need to abandon any of their “commitments” – albeit well -known politicians or donors – and focus on the facts of the case. There is a cover here, and it stinks on the high sky. Now the opposition party, which is worthy of the name, would be a crisp bloody murder.
Because when Donald Trump thinks no one is interested in Epstein’s business, he is just mistaken. How Miami Herald reportsA recent yougov poll shows confidence in the public that justice will be done in this case. According to the newspaper, “only 15% of the respondents said they are very confident that they were investigating, and 67% said they were not very confident.”
The two -thirds of the Americans who believe that the investigation will not take place have broad causes of their cynicism. But there is little hope to change the poisonous dynamics of modern politics, if the Democrats do not give them wrong. Trump’s appeal to the Epstein file was quite predictable – and creates an opening for a policy that really attracts elite criminals.
