President Donald Trump on Friday night said he would like the federal government to "release everything" that it has on the disgraced, late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as long as innocents aren't hurt in the process.
The Trump administration has faced heavy backlash over its handling of the Epstein investigation, including its promise to release Epstein's alleged "client list," which it has since said does not exist. But Trump has pushed the Justice Department to provide more transparency on the matter.
Trump last month directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony related to Epstein, but a judge in Florida denied the request saying that legal precedent doesn't allow it.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also interviewed Epstein's former associate Ghislaine Maxwell last week about her relationship with the deceased felon.
“I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt,” Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty. “I want to release everything. I just don’t want people to get hurt."
Trump reminded viewers that he has the right to pardon Maxwell if he decides to, but claimed no one has formally requested the pardon. Maxwell is currently trying to appeal her sex-trafficking conviction, for which she is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
It is possible Trump was in on busting Epstein and testified to the Grand Jury. That would be why he wants everything released. It will drive the MSM into a feeding frenzy and then it will become apparent he is the good guy and they will be so disappointed.
They could censor victims names and those people who aren’t actually accused of doing anything bad but no matter what is released no one is going to believe it at this point.
“””They could censor victims names and those people who aren’t actually accused of doing anything bad “””
If anybody was accused of wrongdoing they would have been charged many years ago.
Release it just before the mid-terms. Set a trap.
One problem is if they release some of the videos it would be classified as child p**n
Just release it.
I thought we were all told to move on, nothing here, all a hoax
The lousy leftist media are still obsessed with Epstein as a way to hurt Trump and his supporters.
I again surfed to see CNN and MSBNC are still using Epstein as their lead story despite beatings of people in Cincinatti, major deals by Trump using tariff pressure and more.
Then surfed a few minutes later to see their panel discussions trashing the Trump Administration on Epstein.
Sheesh.
My feelings also. If there was really any truth to the accusations that Donald Trump was joining in on the wicked perversion on Epstein Island, the dems would have aired that out years ago.
absolutely I would bet the farm on that...dems don’t even have common sense or are just plain spin doctors and dont care about the truth, just care to push their anti trump agenda, disgusting
I was told that I was “stupid” and a “moron” and an “idiot” for wanting the Epstein files released.
Now the President is where I was a few weeks ago.
I await the apologies.
“”Now the President is where I was a few weeks ago.
I await the apologies.””
It’s a game. Hot potato, musical chairs and guess what’s gonna happen next all rolled into one. You gotta keep up!
Trump can release everything the DOJ and any other Executive agency possess. All he has to do is give the order.
What’s taking him so long?
Now, if he’d just stop trying to placate neocons like Lindsey Graham and demand Ukraine take any deal necessary to end the war in Ukraine.
8-D chess gives me a headache.
