Trump initially promised to release Epstein-related files but later downplayed the scandal and reportedly lied about his name appearing in the documents. His actions, including efforts to deflect blame, suggest he may be protecting powerful individuals or even himself.

President Donald Trump shared a meme referencing the O.J. Simpson car chase, depicting former President Barack Obama as the driver of the white Ford Bronco and an unflatteringly edited version of Vice President JD Vance as a police officer. This meme, originating from a pro-Trump account, seems to reference Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent referral of Obama administration officials to the Justice Department. The post, shared on Trump’s Truth Social and Instagram accounts, drew criticism and requests for the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, indicating the public’s attention was diverted to other scandals. Trump’s association with Epstein has long been a source of controversy.

Trump’s distraction methods fall flat against the Epstein uproar.
The calls to focus on how great things are going, a classic deflection, simply aren’t working this time around. The accusations against Trump, the implications in horrific acts, are far too pervasive. It’s a marked shift from dismissing the allegations as unimportant to scrambling to distance himself and his associates. The shift is clear: Trump’s team is suddenly eager to shift the spotlight, to expose others in a desperate attempt to muddy the waters.
The old playbook, it seems, is failing. Attempts to pivot to “Hillary’s emails,” or even older accusations, are falling flat.… Continue reading

This lawsuit may mark a turning point in the often-fraught relationship between Trump and Murdoch.

Most recently, he claimed his signature was forged on a reported raunchy birthday letter sent to Epstein in 2003. The former president denies writing the letter, which was featured in a book of birthday notes, and has even filed a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal disputing its existence. Despite claiming he “had nothing to do with the guy,” Trump was well-acquainted with Epstein, and other writings have also been attributed to Trump memorializing his admiration for Epstein.
