Trump’s Government Is Blowing Off the Epstein Scandal. Other Nations Aren’t

The Trump Government is primarily focused on making life better for billionaires.

Exactly, other countries are investigating while his administration ignores everything

don’t think about that hand you’re shaking too much…

For those who can’t get past the paywall:

The latest tranche of Epstein files released by the Justice Departmenthas sent shockwaves through the international community. Foreign governments, royal families, businesses, universities, and cultural institutions are investigating those with ties to the notorious sex criminal, and powerful figures around the world have been forced to step down from influential positions amid revelations that they were a part of his network. The United States, however, doesn’t seem to care so much.

It should be one of the most consequential sex and crime scandals in the history of the United States, but many of those tied to Epstein are skating by with little in the way of consequence. President Donald Trump — a longtime friend of Epstein’s whose name allegedly appears in the files over a million times — and other figures working within or tied to his administration seem to not only hang above the fray, but enjoy the protection of the American justice system.

This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee, where she thrice refused to acknowledge a group of survivors sitting in the hearing room, who all affirmed that they had not been granted an opportunity to meet with the attorney general despite their requests. Bondi refused to answer questions about the Justice Department’s failure to open investigations in potential coconspirators, and dismissed questions from lawmakers about the department’s sloppy handling of sensitive victim information, and about the over-redaction of potentially incriminating information.

The White House also shrugged off questions about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who — although not implicated in any criminality — was caught in a bold-faced lie about the extent of his dealings with Epstein. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt abruptly cut off a press briefing after being asked by a reporter if the administration would continue to stand by Lutnick. “Secretary Lutnick remains a very important member of President Trump’s team, and the president fully supports the secretary,” Leavitt said. Trump has also brushed off questions about Lutnick and other figures tied to the administration appearing in the files.

But outside of America’s borders, Epstein’s ghost is threatening to topple governments and prompting a wave of public and private sector resignations.
In the United Kingdom, the former Prince Andrew — now citizen Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after being stripped of his titles in 2025 — was evicted from the royal “lodge” he shared with his ex-wife Sarah Furgeson, the former Duchess of York, who was also revealed to have a financial relationship with Epstein earlier this month.

Mountbatten-Windsor settled a civil lawsuit in 2022 brought against him by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell of trafficking her to the former prince and other men when she was a teenager.
Now, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service is weighing an investigationinto Mountbatten-Windsor over new evidence that he may have transferred confidential government reports to Epstein while representing the kingdom as a trade envoy.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, meanwhile, is facing calls for his own resignation and a potential vote of no confidence over his relationship with Peter Mandelson, a prominent figure in the Labour Party who was tapped to serve as United States Ambassador under Starmer. Questions about the extent Starmer was aware of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein were heightened after newly released emails revealed that the two men had joked about Epstein’s relationships with young women, and that Mendelson may have provided Epstein with sensitive government emails containing privileged financial information.

Two high-level officials in Starmer’s administration have resigned in the face of the scandal, Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party this month after being dismissed from his ambassadorship last year, and authorities are exploring a criminal investigation into his conduct. While Starmer insists he was misled by Mandelson about his ties to Epstein, in the view of the UK public and lawmakers, the buck stops with him.
Consequences are being felt in other nations, as well. Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit is in hot water after emails revealed she had borrowed one of Epstein’s Palm Beach properties in 2013. Norway’s former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has also been embroiled in the scandal. On Thursday, Thorbjørn was charged with corruption by Norwegian authorities in connection to Epstein, after being stripped of his diplomatic immunity earlier this week.

Jack Lang, France’s former Culture Minister, resigned last week from his position as president of the prestigious Arab World Institute in Paris. In Slovakia, a national security adviser to Prime Minister Robert Fico stepped down earlier this month. A Swedish U.N. official resigned after the documents revealed a visit to Epstein’s island. Several other countries — including Poland and Lithuania — have opened investigations into the potential trafficking of girls from their nations.
On Friday, DP World Chairman and Chief Executive Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem — who was discovered to be one of the names of potential Epstein co-conspirators whose name was redacted in files after a review by lawmakers — resigned from his position atop the Emirati international exporter.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who pushed to unredact the names of Bin Sulayem and five other individuals, wrote on X after Bin Sulayem’s resignation that he and other lawmakers would “not rest until there is elite accountability for the Epstein class.”

But in the United States, the Justice Department has staunchly refused to pursue further criminal investigations into Epstein’s potential co-conspirators or participants in his trafficking ring. Resignations have been few, and powerful figures with ties to Epstein, from former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft founder Bill Gates to Tesla billionaire Elon Musk and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon seem to have been afforded cover under Trump and his administration’s repeated insistence that the scandal is a “hoax” and that Americans should turn their focus elsewhere.

As the international community rallies to excise the cancer of Epstein’s crimes from its public institutions, Americans can only watch from afar, and lament the decay of what was once a model justice system.

That’s because Trump was in business with Epstein to purvey underage kids to rape and possibly worse for himself and half of his goddamn cabinet

Trump was trafficking children and raping them right along with Epstein and Maxwell , he’s not going to order the DOJ to investigate himself

For two weeks in a row, the headlining article on CNN was a celebrity’s mom going missing. Social apps like Fishbowl are straightup banning people who post about Epstein. Reddit is the only place I can come to find news articles talking about Epstein

And every day ordinary Americans do nothing about this you are giving tacit acceptance to it.

Do something. Why are you all so timid? What does it take? Lanza shot up a classroom of tiny children – nothing. Your president rapes and steals – nothing.

You are a bad people.

And neither are Voters.

For once the public does not seem to be letting them off easy. If anything, it’s getting louder.

Republicans are either in the files or too spineless and depraved to do anything. Their base is no better.

It’s fine that the president and 99% of his cabinet and his donors and friends and his golf buddies and basically everyone within his orbit are pedophiles because he’s *their guy.*

How does that go? Rules for thee and not for me? I’d say MAGA is pretty evenly split between the people who simply don’t care because he’s also hurting people they don’t like and people who are pedophiles themselves.

Trump’s Government Is ~~Blowing Off~~ *implicated in* the Epstein Scandal. Other Nations Aren’t

They are a bunch of pedophiles with no shame. So are their supporters. What sad society we live in where you can be rich enough to get away with raping little kids.

The US government and many brainwashed US citizens have been playing “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” far too long. Trump is a poison, a cesspool of dishonor, greed, and hate. His sycophants know what he is, but their empty-souls excuse malevolence and the greed for power keeps them hooked to his tit.

This is Shakespearean in its tragedy. A young country full of itself, too laden with comforts and fattened by excess that it can not sense discomfort until it stabs at their own pocket, their own stomach; until discomfort becomes intense pain they will not act. So thickly coated with its own egoistic fat that this bastion of freedom becomes entrapped by its lethargic brain and can no longer discern good from evil.

The Epstein cover-up will destroy the United States of America
