The Donvict now denies being briefed that his name appeared in the Epstein files.

Donald Trump Denies Being Briefed That His Name Appeared In Jeffrey Epstein Files, Despite Wall Street Journal Report That He Was Informed (Deadline)

President Donald Trump on Friday denied that he was briefed on his name appearing in the case files of Jeffrey Epstein, seeming contradicting a recent report in the Wall Street Journal that he was.

After Air Force One landed in Scotland today, a reporter asked Trump, “Were you briefed on your name appearing in the Epstein files ever?”

“No, I was never briefed. No,” Trump said.

This crude attempt at gaslighting is reminiscent of his denial of being on the grab-em-by-pussy hot mic tape.

They couldn’t come up with a plausible excuse to excuse his name being in there so they’re going with the “what are you talking about? It never happened” defense.

this is as disgraceful as the rest of them.

No honor. No integrity.
