Donald Trump has finally decided to support a vote in the US House of Representatives on the release of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Republicans in the House should vote to make the Epstein files public, because we have nothing to hide,” the president wrote this Sunday on his Truth Social platform, despite previously opposing it. Even so, Donald Trump described the affair as a “Democratic Party hoax”.
A vote will likely take place this week, and due to the defection of several Republican elected officials, this will certainly result in permission to make public all files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Again, last week, Donald Trump appeared vengeful about the consequences of this affair, for example on Friday calling for an investigation into the ties between Jeffrey Epstein and certain Democratic figures including Bill Clinton, at a time when his ties to a sex offender who died in prison became the subject of new questions.
The American President also firmly expressed his opinion against the symbolic figure of the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, Marjorie Taylor Greene, accusing her of a lack of transparency in this political-judicial scandal and who in any case was prepared to vote in favor of the publication of the files.
Through investigations that he requested to be opened by the Department of Justice and the Federal Police (FBI), the American president also targeted Larry Summers, Treasury Secretary during the Bill Clinton administration, investor and businessman Reid Hoffman, JPMorgan Chase bank and “many other people and institutions”. “Records show that these people, and many others, spent a lot of time with Epstein,” he said.
The Epstein affair is relaunched with new messages
In July, the Justice Department and the FBI announced that they “have not found any evidence on which to base an investigation into persons who have not yet been prosecuted” in the Epstein case. The two institutions also considered it “irrelevant” to publish the “Epstein file”. (“Epstein Files” in English).
This position has generated incomprehension, even anger, among many supporters of Donald Trump’s “MAGA” movement, who has promised shocking revelations during his campaign. But once back in power, the former real estate developer, who frequently visited Jeffrey Epstein when they were still jet set figures in New York, tried to close down the archives, in what he said was a “trick” concocted by the Democratic Party.
The Epstein affair was relaunched this week with the publication of emails from the New York financier, with a remarkably comprehensive address book. Donald Trump “knew about the girls” who were sexually assaulted and even “spent a few hours” with one of them, said emails from Jeffrey Epstein, disclosed by Democratic lawmakers.
With his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell as his agent, Epstein brought minors to his residences, particularly in New York and Florida, to sexually abuse them under the pretext of massages. He died in prison in 2019 before his trial, an apparent suicide according to authorities. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20 year prison sentence for sexual exploitation.
