Two schools of thought on this: 1. He isn't himself in the files, just lots of people he's beholden to. Some perhaps recently. 2. He doesn't actually remember what he did.

Or maybe since Trump and Epstein were friends, Trump confident he was not included. And, perhaps Trump believes too because Epstein fed any Trump files/data to other entities so the threats were not from Epstein directly?

3. I also think that because he’s a narcissist and he and Epstein were “friends” that Epstein didn’t collect information on him. I also suspect he thought it was an actual list from Epstein rather than interview transcripts from victims.

Because he promises many things that he was never going to deliver. This is how Trump works. It’s so very Trump. Art of the Deal?! No Art of the Lie!

Trump has diarrhea of the mouth as well as dementia (likely Lewy Body Dementia judging by his hallucinations of the 8 wars he has brought to an end). He says whatever comes to his fragmented brain to please his audience.

He is a narcissists and driven by a grandiose sense of himself and a insatiable need for admiration. He is devoid of sympathy, empathy, compassion. He has no redeeming qualities.

He is the first certifiably insane US president and,
WE, THE PEOPLE, need to invoke the 25th amendment to immediately if we are to save our country!

He knew it would fire up his base to vote for him. And they don't really care what he accomplishes, apparently.

He is a legit old school journalist and I trust him to report on his sources accurately.

release the files.

With the length of this shutdown, I assume dead girls and live boys are involved.

I really wish we could retire this phrase. It's so sexist and cruel.

Yes it is sexist and cruel, and those words also describe the Republican party right now. Otherwise, this would have all been released without redacted names.

It's obviously horrific enough to cause King Charles to act against his brother, and for Johnson to keep Congress shut down and not pay federal employees.

They are probably busy doctoring the books now.

Johnson is buying them time.

I don’t know about the files per se but as long as the victims are alive (and there are a lot of them) there are still names to be released. Epstein was convicted of trafficking but the people who he sold these girls too are still walking around.

I only know of one victim, Virginia Guiffre, that has come forward and publicly released names. Have any of the other many victims spoken out about specific abusers?

At least 20 have come forward. Do your own research as it is easily available on line!

Have they named specific people as their abusers?

They told Federal agents. That was brave enough.

Would you want to risk the blowback of a millionaire’s legal defense ?

The survivors who held a rally also participated in an interview. Every single one said trump was not involved in their abuse and they had no knowledge of him abusing others. They were adamant. I'm not a trump supporter, but I believed these women. There are countless victims of epstein, most of whom have not spoken out and it is likely some of them have first hand knowledge of trump's involvement in this.

But according to his biographer, there were photos of Trump with very young looking women (?) sitting topless on his lap (in Epstein s safe).

That is 1000% credible, given that he bragged about his access to backstage when teenagers were getting dressed for beauty pageants.
By his own admission.
