Trump is opening an "investigation" because that precludes DOJ from being allowed to release the files.

In 2019, after Epstein was arrested, Trump told reporters he was “not a fan of his, that I can tell you.” Trump also said he hadn’t spoken to Epstein in 15 years, which would have been 2004.

But the just released emails prove they spent Thanksgiving together just TWO YEARS earlier. Donald's a liar.

We now have credible evidence that our sitting president, at the very least, was aware of a multinational pedophelia ring operating partially on his own property and did nothing to stop it.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Exactly. He should resign.
Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)
