WASHINGTON – During a nationally televised news conference where accusers urged Congress to release the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking files, a military flyover of the U.S. Capitol drowned out some of their remarks.

Was it a coincidence?

The White House said the fighter jets were participating in maneuvers to honor a fallen Polish army pilot killed recently in a training exercise − and to "celebrate the special relationship between our two countries."

The noisy honorific occurred shortly before 11:30 a.m. while President Donald Trump was meeting at the White House with newly elected Polish President Karol Nawrocki, the White House said in several X posts showing video of the flyover.
