The last week has featured a series of revelations about Jeffrey Epstein, gleaned from a cache of his emails that were released from his estate, after calls from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
And as pointed out by The Daily Beast, the president has once again not spoken to the press about any of the stories. This included the president not responding to questions from reporters after a ceremony marking the end of the government shutdown.
“Donald Trump is avoiding questions about convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein for a third consecutive day, clearing his White House schedule of public engagements before escaping to Florida for the weekend,” The Beast reported.
Several of the new emails mention Trump by name, including a note from Epstein that Trump “knew about the girls,” and Epstein stating that a victim had spent hours with Trump at his house.

The emails have not uncovered smoking-gun proof of any illegal behavior by Trump, but his name continually surfacing in Epstein-related stories is certainly embarrassing for the president.
Every new revelation of the Epstein cover-up is more shocking.
Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Mike Johnson, and MAGA enablers are out to protect one person—Donald Trump.

“Days after bombshell emails revealed the president may have known more about Epstein’s conduct than he has acknowledged, Trump—who is never shy of TV cameras—has refused to be grilled about the matter.”
So Trump’s new Epstein strategy is to ask Bondi and Patel to investigate Democrats.
This is fascinating since they both released formal statements that there was nothing left to investigate and there was no wrongdoing by anyone else in Epstein’s orbit. pic.twitter.com/Fp4K2cAynw

The president has instead taken to social media, attempting to create a narrative that everyone associated with Epstein was a Democrat.
Trump, therefore, has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a prosecutor to investigate Democrats’ ties to Epstein, in the sort of thing that would be a massive scandal in any other administration. It also goes against the Justice Department’s previous declaration that there was nothing left to investigate in the Epstein matter.
The Beast added that “insiders admit they are bracing for impact next week, when a significant number of Republicans are set to break ranks with Trump to support a bipartisan bill calling for the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.”
