Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems 2h
New reporting shows there’s a FILE at the Justice Department with *all mentions* of Donald Trump in the Epstein files.

It’s just sitting in a Microsoft SharePoint collaborative file.

Release it.


___The post references a New York Times article from last Friday, which detailed that officials in the office of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were tasked with reviewing files related to the disgraced financier and abuser.

The piece added that lawyers were set a "grueling pace" and urged to work as quickly as they could. Among their tasks was flagging mentions of Trump "and other celebrities, including former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew." Those references are in the Microsoft SharePoint, according to the NYT, which added that the review was largely completed by mid-April.

The report complements another from The Wall Street Journal, which noted last week that Trump was informed in May that his named appeared in the files. Concretely, the WSJ detailed that Justice Department officials saw Trump's name several times while reviewing what Attorney General Pam Bondi has described as a "truckload" of documents.

___Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Monday demanded all recordings and transcripts of the July 24 and 25 Justice Department interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime partner of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who conducted the interviews, Mr. Durbin also demanded that the Justice Department commit to offering no pardon or commutation of Ms. Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for information, citing “serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump Administration and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

The letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, was co-signed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee.

1. Maxwell's attorney and Blanche are friends.

2. It bugs me that after all these years, the Trump DOJ...

is the one one seeming OK letting the narrative get out there that Trump and Epstein were all but beat friends. Of course, for years, we’ve known they had some level of friendship.

If they were as close as it’s recently purported to be, one would think there could be fairly damning evidence. If so, why would it now just be coming out with the doing of his own administration and why wasnt it used to blow a hole in the side of the Trump 2024 campaign.

My theory: Evidence will show a relationship but not a close one and especially not close in recent years. The DOJ is feeding the media enough of that evidence to create the narrative there may be some there there. Meanwhile, we are gathering our pitchforks and lighting our torches to storm the WH demanding harsh punishment, then BOOM! They’ll release evidence showing Trump and Epstein really werent that close. At the same time, they’ll release loads of solid evidence implicating many others. Then, the same MSM that was ready to string up Trump will have to decide whether to muster up the same indignation with others who are implicated with evidence much worse than anything Trump was accused of.

If there was evidence against Trump that is truly as bad as we are currently being led to believe, why wasnt it used to keep him out of the WH? If it existed, there is no way Obama and Biden’s DOJs wouldnt have used it. So, I have skepticism that it exists. I hope I’m wrong.
