As the US President brought the country’s longest-ever government shutdown (at least, until the next one in February) to an end, he asked reporters whether they had any questions. But when members of the White House press corps peppered him with inquiries about emails that appear to show Trump may have had a deeper level of involvement with, and knowledge of [Jeffrey Epstein’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/jeffrey-epstein?srsltid=AfmBOoqckVErxTgwM-VGENJhQhobYUfUpT5Xfdk8aZw-Qr2lwA63yeKi&ico=in-line_link) sordid and illegal activities, the US President kept his counsel. Tight-lipped is not his usual operating principle. But when it came to Epstein, at least on Wednesday night, the cat made off with his tongue.
The White House named the “victim.” That is a confirmation of the emails authenticity and the information in them! It is an admission that Trump spent hours with the victim of sex trafficking, at the trafficker’s house.
As far as Trump goes, how much more is there to know? He confirmed it! By releasing the name, he confirmed it!
The bad news is that Epstein and Virginia Guiffre are both dead, suicide, so he can say they were doing whatever he wants for hours at Epstein’s house and beat it in court… Legally, it doesn’t seem like enough to convict him in a court where he gets the benefit of the doubt.

Remind me how the Epstein files will help us stop the implementation of project 2025 again
Because I thought we already knew Trump was a sexual deviant years ago.

The orange cult sludge on the conservative sub have decided he must be inocent becuases otherwise the files would have been released already.

Trump should just resign and enjoy the final years of his life golfing from one end of the world to another. Unless, of course, as a normal citizen he might be incarcerated.

Do the recently released emails have anything concrete in them? I read the ones that have been floating around but they seem like vague, contextless emails typed by total dumbasses. Felt like I couldn’t even tell what they were talking about half the time.
I’m so used to Trump wiggling out of shit that I can’t tell if “snowballing” is hyperbolic or not

Putting aside the heinous nature of the crimes committed, it’s pretty fucking hilarious that after so many years of the right frothing at the mouth about uncovering some kind of child sex trafficking ring run out of a DC pizza shop, it turns out it was their man god figure who was the biggest perpetrator of said crimes.

[Donald Trump](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) did something very unusual on Wednesday night, possibly even unique in the annals of his second term in office. He resisted the temptation to talk.

Next week, members of the House of Representatives [will vote](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/politics/house-vote-epstein-files.html) on whether to require Trump’s government to release all files in the Justice Department’s possession relating to the disgraced and deceased financier. Given that many voters among the [Make America Great Again (Maga) faithful are demanding the full transparency](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/cult-maga-turned-on-master-trump-epstein-3808215?srsltid=AfmBOopRR047DTrWB2F4Khy5RZkdHHl5uQJfelzy0ytEjvHrK9shJyz0&ico=in-line_link) that Trump promised on the campaign trail last year, the White House is braced for a substantial number of Republican defections.
