The president of the United States, Donald Trump, goes on the counterattack after the latest leaks this week of the ‘Epstein case’ by the Democratic Party.
The Republican announced this Friday, through a publication in Truth Social, that he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to investigate the pedophile’s ties to Bill Clinton or former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, among others.
Trump accuses Democrats of using the “Epstein hoax,” which “involves” his party and “not Republicans” to “try to divert attention from his disastrous government shutdown and all his other failures.”
In addition to Clinton and Summers, the president asks to investigate Epstein’s participation and relationship with other people and institutions such as businessman Reid Hoffman – founder of LinkedIn and prominent Democratic donor – the JP Morgan bank or its subsidiary Chase Bank.
“This is another case of the Russian plot, with all signs pointing to the Democrats. The records show that these men, and many others, spent much of their lives with Epstein and on his “island”. Stay tuned!” he wrote on his social network.
In another message, Trump accuses Democrats of being “doing everything possible, with all their might, to push the Epstein hoax again,” despite, he explains, the Justice Department publishing 50,000 pages of documents.
“Epstein was a Democrat, and it is a problem for Democrats, not Republicans!” he says, before asking that they not waste time on him because “has a country to govern.”
The 3 emails about Trump
The White House on Wednesday accused the Democratic Party of feeding a “false narrative” by cherry-picking three emails out of context solely to implicate the president. For this reason, the Republicans decided to release within a few hours up to 20,000 sheets of documents related to the case, in which there is hardly any mention of Trump or any reference is based on personal impressions and not on definitive evidence.
However, Democratic lawmakers maintain that the three leaked emails raised new questions about the relationship between Epstein and Trump.
In the first of them, dated 2011 and sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, accomplice and partner of the sexual criminal, Epstein describes Trump as a “dog that does not bark” and affirms that this He spent “hours” at his home with one of the alleged victims of sex traffickingwhose name appears redacted in the published documents.
Another email, sent in 2015, illustrates a conversation between Epstein and the author and journalist Michael Wolff, where the pedophile reflected on How to answer questions from the media about your relationshipas Trump was beginning to emerge as a national political figure.
In this email about an upcoming Trump interview on CNN, Wolff advises let the now president incriminate himself by denying any relationship with the New York financier.
“I think you should let him put the noose around his neck alone. If he says he wasn’t on the plane or in the house, that gives you a valuable political and public relations advantage. “You can sink it in a way that potentially benefits you, or, if it really looks like it could win, you could save it, generating debt,” Wolff wrote.
The third email includes another conversation between Epstein and Wolff, this time dated 2019, when the late tycoon stated that “Of course he (Trump) knew about the girls, since he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
