Newsmax’s Carl Higbie ripped ex-White House adviser Elon Musk’s “low blow” at President Donald Trump on Thursday after the billionaire claimed the administration isn’t releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files due to the president being named in them.
“Elon, if you knew he was on the Epstein client list, why did you let him board Marine One with your son? Just asking!” questioned Higbie as a clip played of Trump boarding the helicopter with Musk’s 5-year-old son, X, in March.
Musk — amid his explosive breakup with Trump — took to his social media platform X to accuse the president of being in a trove of documents tied to Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Earlier this year, the White House shared files tied to the case with Trump-backing social media influencers but the hyped-up drop was ultimately a letdown to many, as much of the information in the documents had already been released.
Trump — who once described Epstein as a “great guy” and was seen with him on a number of occasions — has since claimed that he was never on the financier’s plane, despite flight logs released by the president’s own attorney general showing otherwise.
