Trump 'Releases' Epstein Files He Initially Obscured
When the 'late sex offender' (Axios's words, not ours) Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in July 2019, it was under Donald Trump’s Justice Department. His then-Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta, famously resigned after public outcry over his sweetheart plea deal for Epstein years prior. Yet, just five months ago, Axios itself reported on Trump’s resistance to releasing these very records, citing his concern
for 'protecting people.' Now, after a bill passed Congress, it's a 'hoax' that will 'backfire on Democrats.' One might wonder how a 'hoax' demands transparency that reveals potential connections across the political spectrum – including those within his own circles. This isn't transparency; it’s a political pivot. The same administration that oversaw the non-release of these files now claims
credit for a forced public unveiling, weaponizing disclosure as an attack, not a genuine pursuit of justice. How many 'hoaxes' must we endure before we recognize the shell game?
