Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein (CNN/File)


EA on BBC and DW News: Will Trump Be Taken Down By Release of Epstein Files?

EA-Irish Times Podcast: Why Trump Retreated Over Epstein Files


I join Tim El-Sheikh on the CEO Retort VideoCast for an 80-minute deep dive into social media, disinformation, and the scandal around the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.

I discuss the politics as Trump’s stonewalling over the release of the Epstein Files is finally broken. I deal with fiction v. fact over the case.

And I ask if we can finally get through the spin, diversions, and disinformation to get transparency, accountability, and justice.

Donald Trump has not been linked to the paedophilia, but the e-mails place Trump in Epstein’s apartment and house.

He lied.
