But His Emails...
Before he was elected in 2016, Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pu**y and barging into rooms of partially dressed young pageant contestants.

It's crazy how they managed to frame Trump with the Epstein stuff. Planting a fake Christmas card in a book of Christmas cards a decade in advance, sending all of those emails 15 years ago so that they would later, when Trump is President, be referred to to make Trump look bad. Incredibly vicious.

WATCH: In a 2011 email, Jeffrey Epstein said Donald Trump “spent hours at my house” with a woman later identified as a sex trafficking victim. Chris Hayes unpacks more from the trove of never-before-seen emails.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything.
Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children.
(Spoiler: it’s the same cabal)
Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal?
They are.
Odd.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

In case you'd been wondering why Trump rolls over for Putin at every turn:
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Republicans continue to hide the Jeffrey Epstein files.
But these extremists have zero interest in making healthcare affordable for everyday Americans.

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.
Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.
Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.
