Mayhem he could cause': Top Dem drops dire warning about Trump's Epstein response - Rawstory

A top Democrat warned that... Donald Trump may be willing to "go to war" to try and distract the American people from new revelations contained in the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, discussed the latest revelations from Epstein's emails on a new episode of progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen's podcast Wednesday.

"... my fear with the release of this information is, and more and more of course, with the swearing in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ)...is that as they're able to release the rest of the Epstein files from Congress, you're going to see Trump doing everything and anything he can to distract, ...and that might include going to war with Venezuela, which he's already on the verge of, apparently. Not to mention all the other mayhem that he could cause. So, I'm deeply concerned about that."
