"I've got a sneaking suspicion that, somewhere in a makeshift situation room in Mar-a-Lago, there's a whiteboard with very high IQ strategies to distract everyone from Jeffrey Epstein written on the top. Kidnap a foreign head of state will have already been crossed off this hypothetical whiteboard. The capture of the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, dominated headlines for a while but it hasn't stopped the ghost of Epstein from haunting Donald Trump."
"During a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan this week, Trump was heckled by an autoworker who reportedly called the president a pedophile protector. And Shawn Ryan, an influential podcaster, who supported Trump's 2024 run, also publicly accused the president of protecting pedophiles by not fully releasing the Epstein files. I voted to get these damn files released, and it's like a total 180 just happened, Ryan complained on a podcast released Thursday."
"Your first problem, sir, was ever believing a word the convicted felon said. The newest plan to take the heat off Trump's Epstein connection? Judging by recent events, it seems to be to try and make us all focus on the Clintons' Epstein links instead. While things escalated this week, the Trump administration has been slinging mud at Bill Clinton for a while."
Donald Trump continues to face public scrutiny over connections to Jeffrey Epstein despite efforts to shift attention. Administration actions and headline-grabbing events, such as the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and talk of annexing Greenland, have not erased focus on Epstein-related questions. Critics and supporters have demanded full release of Epstein files, with public heckling and accusations that the president is protecting pedophiles. The administration has targeted Bill Clinton's well-documented ties with Epstein, noting multiple White House visits and travel together. Clinton maintains he cut ties in 2005 and has not been formally accused of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
