"PSAKI: Now over the past few days, and you've probably seen this, Donald Trump has done everything short of breaking into a full out sprint to avoid answering questions about the newly released trove of emails from notorious child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, emails that repeatedly refer to Trump himself, some of which clearly imply that Trump may have known more about Epstein's crimes than he has previously let on."
"But those days of silence over the last week have created a very awkward situation for Trump's party and for the MAGA movement, because whenever Trump finds himself mired in scandal, his supporters typically just kind of wait to see what he says, and then they follow his lead and repeat on what he says or what he tells them to say and how they should respond."
Newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails repeatedly reference Donald Trump, with some messages implying Trump may have known more about Epstein's crimes than previously believed. Trump largely avoided answering questions about the emails for several days, then briefly addressed them aboard Air Force One en route to Palm Beach. The lack of an immediate, sustained response prompted Republican allies, MAGA supporters, and conservative pundits to offer explanations and defenses that filled the resulting vacuum. Some reactions included dismissals based on the volume of documents and calls for more review. The episode produced controversial commentary from high-profile conservative figures.
