“You are fat, you are a joke, you are stupid, you are not funny, you are not as smart as you think you are… This entire thing has been a scam. When we look back on the history of populism in America, we are going to look back on the MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. And the liberals were right. The MAGA supporters were had. They were.”
— Far-Right influencer Nick Fuentes, quoted by Newsweek, denouncing Donald Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
…
Jeffrey Epstein was asked in a 2010 deposition about his relationship with Donald Trump:
LAWYER: Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?
EPSTEIN: What do you mean by “personal relationship,” sir?
LAWYER: Have you socialized with him?
EPSTEIN: Yes, sir.
LAWYER: Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?
EPSTEIN: Though I’d like to answer that question, at least today I’m going to have to assert my 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment rights, sir.
…
Playbook: “Trump has ruminated about the Epstein fallout for weeks. ‘They’re going to accuse me of some funny business,’ he said recently in the Oval Office, according to a Republican close to the White House who personally heard the president make these comments. Trump again maintained his distance from Epstein’s criminal behavior, but lamented: ‘They’re going to fuck me anyways.’”

“The Jeffrey Epstein morass surrounding President Donald Trump is deepening amid growing defiance by some Republicans and despite the administration’s most inflammatory attempt yet at distraction,” CNN reports.
“New reports Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that his name appeared in documents related to the case of Epstein, an accused sex trafficker, offered a plausible explanation for the president’s growing fury over the drama.”
“They will fuel accusations of a cover-up since the administration has refused to release the files.”
…
“President Donald Trump has lost control of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal,” Punchbowl News reports.
“The House Oversight Committee – the top investigative panel in the House – will issue an array of subpoenas related to the Justice Department’s Epstein investigation, rebuffing Trump’s pleas to his base to move on from the matter.”
“Republicans on the Oversight panel tried to soften the blow by also agreeing to subpoena former President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton over their interactions with the disgraced financier, as well as all the attorneys general and FBI directors since Epstein first came under criminal investigation in 2005.”
“Yet suddenly, the White House finds itself not getting any cover from Hill Republicans. In fact, GOP lawmakers are teaming up with Democrats to seek depositions and documents.”
Washington Post: Trump struggles to contain furor over Epstein as House lawmakers seek subpoenas.
…
A new Fox News poll finds only 13% of Americans think the government has been open and transparent about the Jeffrey Epstein case, while more than five times as many, 67%, disagree – including 60% of Republicans and 56% of MAGA supporters.
Bill Kristol: “As for the poll’s cross-tabs, what’s striking is the relative uniformity of voters’ judgments as to whether the federal government has been open and transparent. Democrats are predictably the most disappointed, by 74 percent to 9 percent. Independents break 64 percent to 10 percent. But even among Republicans the split is 60 percent to 18 percent.”
“It turns out everyone is interested in the Epstein files. Which is why the White House is panicking.”
Note…
I have maintained here that you can’t lie and beat down people and NOT expect them to get even if you fall down in front of them….
Update….
It would appear that the Wall Street Journal has someone inside leaking Epstein information….
