Donald Trump faced a fresh crisis on Wednesday as it was reported that his name appears in US justice department files about Jeffrey Epstein and the Congress subpoenaed testimony from the sex offender’s partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell.
The White House sought to downplay the relationship between Trump and Epstein.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”.
The White House subsequently banned one of the Journal’s reporters from Air Force One for an upcoming trip to Scotland.
In June Elon Musk, a billionaire friend-turned-foe of the president, tweeted that Trump is “in the Epstein files”.
The Journal reported on Wednesday: “When justice department officials reviewed what attorney general Pam Bondi called a ‘truckload’ of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times.”.
On Wednesday the powerful House oversight committee voted 8-2 to subpoena the justice department to release files related to Epstein, with three Republicans joining all Democrats. »
