Additionally, the public is increasingly frustrated with the administration’s economic policies, particularly its focus on tariffs and handling of inflation, and a large majority want the Justice Department to release all information regarding the Epstein case.

Justice delayed is indeed justice denied, and as the saying goes, justice buried is protection bought.
