"On Tuesday, Trump's White House got Marc Caputo to write a credulous column platforming their laughable claims that they're not responsible for how chaotic the release of the Epstein files has been, that the whole Epstein thing is just unfair to poor Donald Trump. Caputo's column - the dutiful repetition of even ridiculous claims - is a read of Trump's own perception of the challenge before him."
"The prediction lasted less than a day. Even at the time, CNN was reporting that SDFL's US Attorney's Office has just solicited "volunteers" to work over the holiday to make this a one-week story. The Justice Department's leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida to volunteer over the "next several days" to help redact the Epstein files, in the latest Trump administration push toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."
The White House asserted it was not responsible for the chaotic release of Jeffrey Epstein files and presented the situation as unfair to Donald Trump. White House sources predicted the release would conclude in about one week and estimated as many as 700,000 additional pages remained to be reviewed. That one-week prediction collapsed within a day as the Southern District of Florida solicited volunteer prosecutors to work over the holiday. The Justice Department leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida to volunteer over the next several days to help redact hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos, and other evidence related to Epstein.
