EA-Times Radio VideoCast: Trump “Cornered” by His Epstein Scandal
I joined DW News on Thursday to evaluate whether Donald Trump will stall over release of the case files of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, now that disclosure has been approved by Congress.
While Trump reluctantly signed the bill, he has ordered the Justice Department — led by Trump’s servant Attorney General Pam Bondi — to investigate Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and LinkedIn co-founder and Democrat donor Reid Hoffman. That could be used as a pretext to hold up release of the files.
But I note that this will not relieve the pressure on Trump. Instead, it could increase it with many of his supporters demanding the files — and with the victims of Epstein and other powerful men seeking transparency, accountability, and closure.
