In an unexpected turn, the president of the United States, this morning, asked Republican congressmen – his coreligionists – to vote to release all the documents of the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a vote that is scheduled for Tuesday. Until now, the president had shown stubborn opposition to taking this step, but the appearance of has increased the internal pressure in his own formation and in North American public opinion.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide, and it is time to get ahead of this Democratic Hoax perpetrated by radical left lunatics to distract from the great success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial.
Its publication occurs hours after media reports that Republicans will vote on Tuesday in the House of Representatives to force a financier who committed suicide in 2019, after emails in which he mentioned Trump were revealed last week.
Republican legislator Thomas Massie of Kentucky, promoter of the initiative, had expressed that he believed he had enough support among his co-partisans, about 100, to overcome the president’s veto power, which would imply two-thirds of the seats, when adding Democrats. A gesture that, although, there are still matters in which not even he goes unpunished. Pedophilia surpasses all red lines.
Trump, who was a friend of the financier and later promised during the campaign to reveal all the case files on his sexual crimes, such as prostitution of minors, asserted that “the Department of Justice has already delivered tens of thousands of pages to the public about Epstein.” “They are looking at various Democratic operatives (Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship with Epstein, and the Congressional Oversight Committee may have whatever they are legally entitled to,” he said.
The vote will occur after intensifying pressure on the Epstein case, as Congress last week published some 20,000 files from the file, which include emails from the financier that mention Trump and suggest that the now president knew of his crimes and that he had spent “hours” with one of the victims.
I deny everything
Trump on Friday denied criminal ties to Epstein, who committed suicide in 2019 in a New York jail, saying he “made up memos” about him. In this context, he now expressed that “no one cared about Epstein when he was alive and that, if the Democrats had something, they would have spread it after the “overwhelming” electoral victory of 2024.
“Some members of the Republican Party are being ‘used’, and we cannot allow it. Let’s start talking about the record-breaking achievements of the Republican Party, and not fall into Epstein’s ‘TRAP’,” he concluded.
