As the Jeffrey Epstein story continues to engulf the Trump presidency, the White House has attempted various forms of damage control, from floating a deranged conspiracy theory about Barack Obama and Russia to a top Justice Department official expressing a desire to meet with Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
In addition, Vice President JD Vance is telling people, in private conversations, what he says he knows about the case.
Per The Daily Beast, Vance recently had dinner with comedian Tim Dillon, and Vance “casually” told him some information about what’s in the government’s files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Jones: Trump admin’s heavily implicated.
Dillon: I had dinner last week with @VP. He told me it was just commercial porn and no videos of powerful ppl in compromising positions. But if that’s true, why would Bondi say it’s evidence? It just feels like they’re covering something.… pic.twitter.com/IxUZ4oqN1v

“[Attorney General Pam] Bondi said we have 10,000 hours of video. I had dinner last week with the vice president,” Dillon said on a subsequent podcast, on which his guest was the notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. “He told me that that was commercial pornography; they do not have videos of any powerful person in a compromising position. That’s the party line that they’re going with?”
“If that’s the case, why would Pam Bondi call it evidence? Why would she say it’s evidence? She’s not an idiot. She’s the attorney general,” Dillon said, on his podcast. “Why would she say she has files on her desk if none of these implicated anybody?”
The news broke Tuesday of a possibly even more powerful form of damage control, on the White House’s part.
Statement from @DAGToddBlanche:
This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead. The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was…

Bondi this week posted a statement revealing that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will soon meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s imprisoned, convicted co-conspirator.
“If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” the statement said, misspelling Maxwell’s first name. Maxwell did not implicate anyone else during her criminal trial in 2021.
This raises the horrifying possibility that the Administration might be willing to pardon or otherwise let a convicted child sex trafficker go free, should she be willing to play along with the Trump Administration’s version of events and attest to Trump’s innocence.
