Trump: DOJ has 'done its job' on Epstein files

President Trump said Friday that the Justice Department had “done its job” on the Jeffrey Epstein case and called for an end to the push from bipartisan lawmakers for more disclosures related to the convicted sex offender.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump blamed Democrats for bringing the Epstein case “back to life,” though Republicans in the House have been at the forefront of the push for more transparency from the Justice Department (DOJ).

“The confused and badly failing Democrat Party did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!” Trump posted. “They knew everything there was to know about Epstein, but now, years after his death, they, out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims. Does anybody really believe that?

“The now dying (after the DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress!) Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats because they are doing so poorly, with the lowest poll numbers in the history of the Party (16%), while the Republicans are doing so well, among the highest approval numbers the Party has ever had!” Trump added.

At a press conference, she should just strongly declare that tr💩mp raped her...repeatedly. When tr💩mp retaliates with litigation, the Discovery phase of that lawsuit will help reveal the awful truth that tr💩mp refuses to admit to.

Simplifying it but Epstein was in thick with Russians. There was surely money laundering (sanctions).
Trump is concerned his myth of being a great businessman could be exposed.

They fully bought in. It’s an interesting conflict to watch - their buy in on the “global cabal of kid eaters” AND Trump …and him outing the whole thing. Still totally oblivious to the connection.

10. If he was an informant he must have witnessed some criminal activity,

otherwise why would the FBI care about his "information?"

So they're saying now that Trump didn't rape anybody, he only watched as underage girls were being raped?

And then remained Epstein's best bud for years and years?

And that's supposed to make him the good guy?

Makes you look REEEAL innocent.

You know what his tell is? He never gives a shit about ANYBODY, ever. (Think about it.) But let his partners in crime be threatened, and suddenly he's a saint just trying to help the poor innocents.
