The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous.

It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.
Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.

In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.
Scoop: Trump administration expects Epstein files release could last another week

Tremendously proud of our co-founder @markzaidesq.bsky.social for his triumph over Trump's attempt to revoke his security clearance. Judge Ali rightly said it was an unconstitutional act of retribution.

We must keep fighting against Trump’s extreme agenda, which includes enacting a nationwide abortion ban. It’s dangerous and disgraceful.

While you slept, the Trump administration banned abortion care for millions of veterans —including in cases of rape, incest, or to save their lives. Veterans who served our country will be less safe and less protected because of this cruel policy.

Ah yes. A million Epstein documents, released on Christmas Eve. Because accountability pairs best with holiday distractions.

Are these the files you boxed up from the Biden era probe into Epstein co-conspirators and shipped off to DC after you killed the investigation and fired the prosecutors? You’ve had these since January. I call BS.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Every day, Americans are bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0. It is exhausting to keep track of and absorb each new outrage. That is the clear intent.
