Donald Trump’s name may have popped up thousands of times in the Jeffrey Epstein files, but somehow, he thinks he is “exonerated” in the case. At least, that is what he is saying. Amidst the many things that have emerged about him in the controversial files, based on his recent press interaction, his only takeaway was that he was being framed by Epstein and Michael Wolff, who were actively trying to prevent him from assuming power.
While Trump’s claims about Epstein and others trying to frame him might be partly true, the fact that he was not involved in any wrongdoing or that the files suggesting the same are completely false. On the other hand, it’s quite the opposite. Based on what several people have learned regarding the Epstein investigation so far, there are at least two contexts in which Trump can be accused of wrongdoing. One is where an email communication suggests that Trump spent hours with one of Epstein’s victims, and another where an FBI tip from one of Trump’s former drivers suggests that he, along with Epstein, had sexually assaulted a woman who had then later died.
