Only because he had Pam destroy all the evidence implicating him first. Also pretty convenient that he's having her launch an investigation at the same time, which would allow them to hold back any document and claim it's part of the "active investigation".
Update: President Trump urged House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, an abrupt reversal of his previous stance. Here's how his messaging on the issue has evolved since taking office.

Splitting hairs about the definition of a pedophile while defending the rape of 15 year old girls is a wild take for a broadcast television host. I said rape and I meant it. 15 year olds can't legally consent to anything with someone over 21. That makes it rape. Stop defending pedophiles!

In addition to the overly aggressive hemp ban, the CR that opened the government also contains a provision to allow 9 Republican Senators to sue the federal government to receive $500k each in taxpayer money just because they had their phone records seized by the DOJ. That's textbook corruption.

They were obsessed with the files when they thought they would embarrass Bill Clinton and the Democrats, but now that they see their dear leader all over the files, suddenly they "aren't a big deal", or are "fake" or "taken out of context".

All MAGA Wanted Was the Epstein Files. Now They're Ignoring Them
For years, MAGA influencers demanded the release of the Epstein files. Now that 20,000 documents have been released, many raising questions about Donald Trump, they're shrugging.

If you voted for him to get lower prices, you got scammed. But don't feel bad. The grifter-in-chief has scammed many before you and will scam many more before he leaves this Earth. There is a well documented history of him enriching himself while failing to pay contractors and employees.
Prices aren't coming down. Trump lied. They started going up as soon as he took the wheel.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

ICE is the new secret police that can kidnap your loved ones with zero accountability, even if you're a US citizen, even if you show them a passport, birth certificate, or other form of ID confirming your citizenship. No due process, no tracking, no transparency. Just state sanctioned violence.

It is alarming just how many protections have been smashed by the current administration. He is poking and prodding and testing to see what he can get away with, and so far he hasn't faced much if any resistance from the courts or Congress. We are witnessing the collapse of a Democracy in real time.

It's stunning to me that I'm part of the 15% of autistic people who have a full time job. I feel the effects of overstretching myself just to manage working 5 days a week. I spend more on food because I don't have the energy to cook for myself, among other basic functions of life that are impacted.

The CR that reopens the government also includes an unnecessarily aggressive hemp ban that includes essentially all hemp plants currently available to grow because they contain tiny traces of THC. The more we learn about this terrible "deal", the worse it gets.

Maybe if Israel's response was more measured than carpet bombing the entire strip, this wouldn't be as much of a problem. But no, let's solve our problems by bombing everything. That's worked really well for them the past 75 years.

Being in a perpetual state of autistic burnout is crazy because if you handle it too well, everyone perceives you as being totally fine and it gets much harder to advocate for accommodations or explain why it's not feasible to regularly repeat an activity you managed to just barely tolerate once.

The last time Democrats accepted a handshake deal with Speaker McCarthy in the House, it was broken on their next budget bill. Now we are supposed to trust Senate Republicans to honor this deal with Leader Thune? Moderates blocked important parts of Build Back Better and keep caving to Republicans.

A 50 year mortgage plan would, on average, result in the home owner paying 4x the cost of the home over the course of the entire mortgage. It's not a way for new homeowners to enter the market. It's a scam designed to steal their money and funnel it up to hedge funds and billionaires.
President Donald Trump downplayed criticism of the potential creation of a 50-year mortgage product, saying it would help more Americans afford monthly payments on homes.

We really need to do something about the President's unfettered, unrestricted pardon powers. They do not make sense in a modern legal landscape.
The pardon covers 77 people, including members of the president’s former legal team, including John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
