On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed legislation forcing the Justice Department to release more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case — bowing to political pressure and votes from the House and Senate for the release.
It all happened days after Trump stunningly reversed his stance on releasing the files, which he had tried to stymie for months.
“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated by Radical Left lunatics to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social late Sunday.
On Friday, Trump claimed on social media that Epstein — the disgraced New York financier who died in 2019 after being charged with sex trafficking minors — “was a Democrat, and he is the Democrats’ problem.”
But that’s not quite the case. Before his fall, and even after he served jail time, Epstein moved among elites from both sides of the aisle.
