Trump Drowns Out Emotional Epstein Victims Rally With Noisy Flyover

An emotional press conference involving the victims of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was drowned out briefly due to a noisy flyover Donald Trump had organized that coincided with the event.

As Epstein’s victims outlined their harrowing stories on Capitol Hill, the President was in the White House greeting Poland’s new head of state, Karol Nowrocki, who Trump had backed during the country’s elections earlier this year.

But in a rarity for a bilateral meeting, the White House had also organized a “spectacular flyover,” which boomed through the skies just as Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies was being asked about Epstein’s “biggest brag”: his friendship with Trump.

“Jeffrey and Ghislaine were always very boastful about their friends, their famous and powerful friends, and his biggest brag, forever, was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump,” Davies said.

Agent Orange was still referring to the Epstein scandal as a "Democratic hoax."

That was a subject of several of the women today--that this is NOT a hoax, that they are real as are their experiences and trauma. The added touch was they also know who was involved and they can and will compile their own List. Trump's name came up at least twice as Epstein's best friend. The one woman said Epstein had a picture of Trump on his desk.

This is not going away.
