Donald Trump hastily changed the subject to his years-long bid to seek revenge against Barack Obama after he was questioned about the Jeffrey Epstein files during a meeting Monday with the president of the Philippines at the White House.
The U.S. president accused his first-term predecessor of “sedatious” behavior — apparently mispronouncing “seditious” — and ranted about an imaginary “coup” after Ed O’Keefe of CBS News asked him about the Justice Department reaching out to attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell to request a new interview about Epstein and the sex trafficking ring for which her involvement earned the socialite a 20-year prison sentence in 2022.
