The Jeffrey Epstein saga has just received an unexpected update after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released photos from the late convicted sex offender showing him with some of the most influential figures in society. When Donald Trump was asked about the release, he dismissed it as inconsequential, saying Epstein apparently knew everyone.
The argument for leaving out the Epstein files has been made in almost every imaginable way by the Trump administration. At first, Trump claimed the existence of the files was a hoax created by Democrats to spite him. But slowly, the administration realized that their own base was also interested in knowing what exactly was in those files — and more importantly, who was in them.
