'Morning Joe' Rolls Montage of Team Trump's Damning Epstein Comments [View all]

In case you’d forgotten quite how eager the president and his allies were on full disclosure until just over a week ago.

MSNBC’s flagship morning show has rolled a damning montage of just some of the countless times Donald Trump and his allies bashed Democrats for their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and promised to release full details of the financier’s crimes.

“Yes, yes I would, I guess I would,” the president told Fox News himself in June 2024 when asked whether he would declassify Justice Department and FBI findings on Epstein’s operations if he were elected, as he later was, in November of that year.

“You don’t want to affect people’s lives if there’s phony stuff in there, because there’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole… world,” he went on. “But I think I would.”

After months of promising salacious new details on the Epstein case, the Trump administration revealed just over a week ago they believe the convicted sex trafficker died by suicide and that he kept no "client list" of uber-wealthy co-conspirators.

Other clips in Morning Joe’s montage feature FBI Director Kash Patel raging at House Republicans in Dec. 2023 to use their majority to “put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are,” as well as the bureau’s Deputy Director Dan Bongino later that May describing the Epstein story as “a big deal,” and begging his podcast followers “please, do not let that story go.”
