Following the release of thousands of documents related to Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Bernice King has urged Donald Trump to release the full, unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files. This request comes amid mounting pressure on Trump to address the Epstein scandal and MAGA backlash after his administration concluded there was no evidence of a client list. Civil rights activists and political figures like Rev. Al Sharpton see the document release as a distraction from Trump’s own controversies, including the Epstein investigation. Trump’s actions and the Democrats’ responses have led to accusations of both sides using the other’s wrongdoings for political advantage.

House grinds to a halt as GOP tries to shut down Epstein votes. It’s absolutely staggering, isn’t it? The whole political machine grinding to a halt over the potential release of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein. It’s not exactly a secret that former President Trump had a… close association with Epstein, and now the Republican Party seems hell-bent on keeping certain information under wraps. The level of dedication to blocking these votes, to me, says a lot. It’s like they’re actively choosing to prioritize protecting someone – and by extension, potentially others – over transparency and, perhaps, over even basic decency.… Continue reading

The Trump administration, under the direction of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, released over 230,000 pages of documents concerning the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., fulfilling a promise to declassify files related to assassinations. This move, coordinated with various government agencies and touted by officials as a commitment to transparency, comes in the wake of continued public interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The release of the MLK files has not satisfied public demand for information on the Epstein investigation, which remains a major point of focus. Critics have expressed frustration, with many online expressing a desire for the release of the Epstein files instead of the MLK documents.

Governor Ron DeSantis has called for the release of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, emphasizing the need for transparency due to the belief that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were not acting alone. These remarks come amid criticism of the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case, which has sparked calls for openness. Furthermore, last week the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump sent a lewd letter to Epstein, which prompted Trump to file a $10 billion lawsuit against the Journal.
