Trump Meets Saudi Prince for 'Deals,' Epstein Files Languish
NPR breathlessly reports that President Trump hosted Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince to discuss 'trade and security deals,' while the House votes on whether to release the 'long-awaited Epstein files.' The juxtaposition is stark, if unintentionally so. A leader whose regime has been criticized for human rights abuses (see: Khashoggi, Jamal) is welcomed for 'deals,' while the truth about elite
predation, allegedly involving powerful figures, remains a political football. One might wonder which 'security' is truly being prioritized. This isn't just about optics. The silence around the Epstein files, despite years of public demand, mirrors the consistent prioritization of geopolitical 'alliances' over ethical concerns. While US intelligence agencies documented the Saudi government's role
in Khashoggi's murder, the White House continues to roll out the red carpet for 'deals.' Apparently, strategic partnerships outweigh accountability for alleged atrocities, foreign or domestic.
