Epstein Docs Link Trump to 'Girls,' Media Feigns Surprise
AP News breathlessly reports that released Epstein emails, made public by House Democrats, claim Donald Trump 'knew about the girls' and 'spent hours' with a victim at Epstein's home. The media dutifully frames this as 'new questions about Trump’s friendship,' carefully ignoring that these 'questions' are as old as the allegations themselves, and similar claims have been public knowledge for
years. The timing, however, is impeccably relevant for election season. One might wonder where this selective outrage was when politicians from both sides of the aisle, business titans, and media moguls were photographed with Epstein, or conveniently ignored his known sexual predatory behavior for decades. It's a classic D.C. spectacle: suddenly 'shocked' by a scandal when it can be weaponized
against a specific political opponent, while the systemic rot that allowed a Jeffrey Epstein to thrive for so long remains unexamined.
