How Trump and the Republicans win in the Epstein affair

In the affair about the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the US government tries to take the pressure from President Donald Trump. The Ministry of Justice announced a survey of former Epstein complicit Ghislaine Maxwell on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Trump announced against the former President Barack Obama and accused him of “treason” and an attempted “Putsch” in the almost ten -year -old Russia affair.

“The Ministry of Justice turns to Ghislaine Maxwell with the question: What do you know?” Maxwell was convicted of Epstein as a member of a sex trade ring at the end of 2021 and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in the US state of Florida.

Trump has come under pressure in his own warehouse because his government did not bring light into the Epstein scandal as promised. The US investment banker was accused of misused numerous girls and young women. The billionaire was found hanged in his prison cell in New York in 2019.

In parts of the US company, Epstein’s death caused wild speculation because he had the best contacts in the American high society. Prominent and billionaires went in and out of him-Trump also spent time with Epstein, as several party videos show. A “Wall Street Journal” report on an alleged congratulatory letter with slippery content, which is said to have had Trump’s name and was said to have been directed to Epstein on its 50th birthday in 2003, fueled the debate about how closely the connection between the two was.

Trump’s Minister of Justice Pam Bondi initially spoke of a list of prominent “customers” of Epstein, but then contested their existence in early July. In order to calm the subsequent turmoil of his supporters, Trump had given the prospect of the disclosure of legal documents last week. This has not yet been made. Trump also left Trump unanswered questions about his own, earlier close relationship with Epstein.

The dispute over the disclosure of the files in the affair also rocks up in the US House of Representatives. In order to prevent a vote on the release of the files, the Republican head of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, wants to send the MPs early on Wednesday and not on Friday. This reported, among other things, the “New York Times” and other media.

The Democrats accused Johnson of slowing down a vote on a resolution in the Epstein Fall. The Ministry of Justice requires the approval of documents, including investigative documents and records for the case. Johnson, on the other hand, spoke of a “political game” of the Democrats. In the past few days, the Epstein case had led to controversy in the House of Representatives.

The situation is tricky for the Republicans and President Donald Trump. Because even in their own ranks, voices were louder that demanded that the Epstein files disclose.

The US President again described the occupation with the Epstein case on Tuesday as a “witch hunt”. Instead, the media should rather report on the misconduct of former President Barack Obama (2009 to 2017), he said. Obama was guilty of the “treason” and, as the “leader of a gang” of democratic politicians, tried a “coup”, Trump claimed.

Obama ordered an investigation into Russia in 2016, with the aim of stealing his election against the democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump said. He called for legal steps against Obama. However, this enjoys far -reaching immunity. Trump referred to a report that secret service coordinator Tulsi Gabbard published on Friday. It claims that Obama and his team have planned a “coup of state against President Trump”.

Obama had Trump rejected allegations. “These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt to distract” from the Epstein affair, explained Obama’s office. On Sunday, Trump shared a fake video in which you can see how Obama is arrested.

Trump had been in sight in the Russian affair for years. US special investigators Robert Mueller examined whether Trump’s campaign team had worked with Russia in 2016 for the damage of Clinton. However, Mueller’s final report was never fully known. Instead, the US government published a short version in Trump’s first term in March 2019, according to which there was no judicial disability by its election campaign team. The president then declared himself “completely relieved”.

How much the Epstein affair is scratched on Trump’s nerves, despite everything, became clear by another post on Truth. He had put the “greatest” first six months of all presidents in US history-“and everything about what the fake news media talk about is the Jeffrey Epstein fraudula!”, The President was outraged.
