Massie: Trump ‘may be covering for some rich and powerful people’ in Epstein files
Bipartisan lawmakers demand Justice Department transparency on Epstein case files as critics accuse Trump of obstructing full disclosure to protect allies.
- On Wednesday, Thomas Massie, U.S. Rep. , and Ro Khanna, U.S. Rep. , pushed the Justice Department to release Epstein case files as Joe Scarborough, Morning Joe host, and Anand Giridharadas, publisher of The Ink, criticized President Trump after a press conference with Epstein survivors.
- Legal resistance from Trump-aligned parties has blocked full release of Epstein case files, while some Republican and Trump administration defenders claim relevant documents are already public.
- Media figures argued President Trump's refusal to disclose Epstein files harms survivors and transparency, with Anand Giridharadas calling it a con against his supporters.
- Critics say Trump's refusal to release files undermines transparency and fails to honor Epstein survivors, while commentators note political framing with Trump shifting blame amid ongoing debates.
- Critics noted the irony that the MAGA movement, known for accusing random figures of pedophilia, now faces charges of whitewashing Jeffrey Epstein, contradicting Donald Trump's outsider campaign narrative against wealthy, powerful people.
