What is the truth about Trump and Epstein? This story keeps getting more blurred… | Arwa Mahdawi

yYou have to keep this quiet moisture, okay? I have the highest information to share. Did you know that Donald Trump is reluctant to publish Epstein’s archives? Well, it’s not because anything evil happened. Trump may be Ruled Sexual Predator Accused of sexual misconduct At least 27 women (all he denies), who Public boast In 2002, about how his “good” friend Jeffrey Epstein loved women “in young people”, but you shouldn’t read too much about all of this. You shouldn’t beat it, either Wall Street Journal The report claims White House officials told Trump in May that his name appeared several times in the archives. Or that House Democrat has Post a hint And sent Epstein’s birthday in 2003, which seemed to show Trump’s signature, and the president denied the same sign. You shouldn’t worry either Released photos Epstein held a novel check signed by Trump and suggested Epstein “sell” him a woman for $22,500.

No, the real reason Trump is strange about Epstein is… drums, please… because the president may or may not operate secretly as an FBI informant and investigates the shameful financier.

To be clear: I did not learn this information by scrolling the conspiracy theory subreddits at 3 a.m. It comes through the highest level of government. Last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Tell CNN reporters The president is very concerned about justice for Epstein’s accuser. In fact, when Trump first heard “rumors” about Epstein, he “kicked him out of Mara Lago; he was an informant of the FBI, trying to put these things down.”

Why did Johnson make such explosive and weird claims? It’s because he thinks Maga supporters, some of them are Angry at the President’s handling of Epstein’s archivesare you easily deceived? With the rise of conspiracy thinking, his tendency to play Some voters Flip Occam’s razor and believe in the most complicated explanation? (MacCo’s razor if you like.)

Honestly, I don’t know what Johnson is thinking. No one else; even the Trump administration Reportedly confused Pass the claim. On Sunday, Johnson’s office is nuanced Go back to his assertion In a statement: “The spokesman is reiterating what the victim’s prosecutor said, that Donald Trump (who drove Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago) was the only one who was willing to help prosecutors expose Epstein’s disgusting child predator a decade ago.”

The attorney mentioned was Brad Edwards, who represented many Epstein survivors and said last week that Trump was “friendly” to his career before doing “approximately.” according to Washington PostTrump’s efforts to Epstein in 2009 “help” Edwards. Unlike the FBI informant.

As Johnson said, in order to give Trump, he was indeed Epstein, a lawyer from Mara Lago. It’s reportedly happened In 2007Later, the latter performed inappropriately to the teenage daughters of the club members. And, after the 2008 sex crime conviction, he seems not friendly to pedophiles – Meet Epstein with Bill Gates repeatedly After that.

Epstein and Trump are at least good friends, at least 15 years, but they have very few records of interactions After 2004. Rather than Trump’s concern about the depraved girls, a bid Palm Beach Mansion Probably it should be blamed. In July, Trump Also said He rowed with Epstein as the financier “stole” the young woman who worked for the Mar-a-Lago Spa. The president seems to be more frustrated with his “property” than the security of “stealing” by woman Epstein.

No matter what happened between the two, the questions about their relationship would go away. The White House is saying that suggestive birthday notes are Fake News And someDemocratic scam” – But is this a login with magazine supporters? Maybe it’s time for the team to sit down and do some better deflection. Maybe blame Brouhaha in the alien plot or Hillary Clinton’s email; any of the easiest explanations that can stop people from coming to the simplest explanation for what Trump’s story, why bury this story Milk.
