President Donald Trump can’t maintain accused intercourse trafficker Jeffrey Epstein off his thoughts.
Throughout a press convention on Friday, Trump whiffed a softball query a few Fox Information report that FBI Director Kash Patel recovered secret paperwork associated to the probe of Trump’s connections to Russia through the 2016 election. As a substitute of addressing the query immediately, Trump ranted vaguely about his personal administration’s incapability to launch its recordsdata on Epstein.
“Effectively, I need all the pieces to be proven. You understand, so long as it is truthful and cheap, I believe will probably be proven. And it needs to be proven. And I believe [Patel] feels that manner. And I believe [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi] feels that manner,” Trump stated, seemingly mishearing or misunderstanding the query.
“The entire thing is a rip-off. It is a rip-off arrange by the Democrats, they usually love speaking about it,” Trump added. “You understand, if that they had something, they might’ve carried out it the week earlier than the election. … They managed the file. The Democrats managed it. [Former FBI Director James] Comey and all of the, you realize, sleazebags, each certainly one of them that you just examine on a regular basis. And I assume they acquired some issues now having to do with but a distinct scandal.”
With the intention to distract from his ongoing failure to ship the long-promised Epstein recordsdata, Trump’s cronies have scrambled to concoct an embarrassingly baseless conspiracy concept involving Russia and former President Barack Obama.
However new polling suggests that the American public just isn’t shopping for what the White Home is promoting concerning the Epstein recordsdata. And every seedy new revelation linking Trump to the convicted intercourse offender appears to solely deepen public doubt.
Trump, whose thoughts has lengthy been a fantasy land of made-up information, appears more and more fixated on one factor lately: Epstein.
