Donald Trump's now claiming that he wants the Epstein files release, but also the investigation

0:34.1

that he ordered might stop that from happening. And I guess there's a small, technically non-zero chance that at one point he performed oral

0:40.8

sex on Bill Clinton.

0:42.0

But starting with Trump's apparent 180 on the files, you had him writing on social media

0:45.4

last night that House Republicans should vote for a bill, requiring the Justice Department

0:49.1

to release all documents and communications related to Epstein because we have nothing to hide

0:53.1

and saying.

0:54.1

It's time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated by radical left lunatics in order

0:57.8

to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party, including a recent victory on the

1:02.0

Democrat shutdown. Right, and you then had Trump referring to newly launched investigations

1:05.5

into who he described as various Democrat operatives, and he added, nobody cared about Jeffrey

1:09.7

Epstein when he was alive, and if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our landslide election victory. Let's start talking about the Republican Party's record-setting achievements and not fall into the Epstein trap, which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. Make America great again. And while Trump's dismissal at Epstein is a hoax, it's not anything new. His apparent support for the files being released, it's completely out of left field.

1:29.0

Right, and don't forget it, Trump's been fighting tooth and nail to stop this release. Right, he's been calling anyone who wants this released. Traders, idiots. And just last week, he was still ramping up pressure on Republicans to vote against releasing the files. He even summoned Congresswoman Lauren Boer to the White House Situation Room to talk about her demand to release the files.

1:44.9

Right, in that coming as, you had lawmakers releasing thousands of emails belonging to Epstein suggesting that Trump knew more about this convicted child sex offender's conduct than he let on even if he didn't participate. With what's been called one of the most damning messages being one where you had Epstein seemingly referring to sexual abuse of underage girls and he wrote, Trump knew of it and came to my house many times during that period. He never got a massage. And that is in another email he wrote about Trump, of course he knew about the girls as he asked Elaine to stop. And then you know beyond questions about abuse, some of the emails raised questions about possible dirt that Epstein or others may have had on Trump. Right in one, speaking about Trump, Epstein claimed that he had the ability to take him down. And in a 2018 email that Epstein received from his brother, Mark, he was asked to question Steve Bannon about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin had the photos of Trump blowing Bubba and Dadding. You and your boy, Donnie, can make a remake of the movie Get Hard. With many even noting that Bubba was a nickname for former U.S. President Bill Clinton. That said, you've since had Mark responding in a statement saying, the emails were simply

2:36.5

part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers and were never meant for public release

2:40.4

or to be interpreted as serious remarks, and adding, for the avoidance of doubt, the reference

2:44.6

to Baba in this correspondence is not in any way a reference to former President Bill Clinton.
