‘Fake news’: Donald Trump pulls out his favorite playbook to dodge questions about the Epstein Files

For someone who built their entire presidential campaign on the promise to release the Epstein Files if elected, Donald Trump seems to lack enthusiasm at the moment, especially as government representatives are on the verge of disclosing all the details of those infamous files. I’m not implying that his shift in attitude towards the Epstein Files stems from guilt over activities he’d prefer to keep hidden, but I’m also not dismissing that possibility. If you’ve been following the recent developments in the case, you’d likely agree that both perspectives are valid.

In the past week, numerous controversial details regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case have come to light, first from the Democrats and then from the Republicans. In both cases, screenshots of various email exchanges between Epstein and several high-profile individuals were released, which included multiple references to Donald Trump. While it’s challenging to determine the context of these emails, they certainly do not reflect positively on the current President of the United States.
