EA on DW News: Epstein Files — Was Trump Involved in Sexual Abuse of Teenage Girl in Mid-1980s?
UPDATE 1746 GMT:
I also spoke with BBC Radio Scotland at lunchtime about the upcoming testimony of the Clinton, evaluating whether the Trumpist tactic of diversion will work to ease pressure on the White House over the Epstein Files.
Listen to Discussion from 18:29
I also summarize the evidence, in a survivor’s statement withdrawn by the Justice Department after it was posted for a few hours, of Donald Trump’s alleged involvement alongside Jeffrey Epstein in the sexual abuse of a girl in the mid-1980s.
ORIGINAL ENTRY: Anticipating the closed-door testimony of President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the House Oversight Committee on Thursday and Friday, I joined RTE Radio 1’s Today with David McCullagh.
I talk about the motives of the Trumpist-led committee, trying to headline the Clintons to divert attention from Donald Trump and the White House stonewalling on the files of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
I review the evidence on the relationship between the Clintons, Epstein, and Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
And I get back to the fundamental question: when will the Trump White House allow transparency, accountability, and justice for Epstein’s survivors?
