President Trump just offered some bizarre new ramblings about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. But he undermined himself: He claimed to know about elite Democrats and liberals who had visited Epstein. But that just raises the question that won’t go away: If this is what the Epstein files would reveal, then why isn’t Trump ordering their release? Every time Trump says such things, he wrecks his own Big Lie: that the Epstein scandal is a Democratic hoax that actually implicates Democrats even as he won’t release the files. Meanwhile, Elon Musk just endorsed the idea that Trump might try to pardon Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for exoneration. Musk knows Trump’s machinations here are a major point of weakness. We talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor in chief of The Contrarian, who has a good new piece laying out why Trump should be panicking over this scandal. We discuss the absurdity of Trump’s biggest Epstein deceptions, why they’re unsustainable for Trump, and why it all underscores the urgency of a Democratic victory in 2026. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

The list doesn't exist

But if Biden and the Democrats didn't put me in it, they are also on the list

Trump is probably waiting for a huge event to happen to distract everyone for when he ultimately pardons Maxwell. It’s going to happen. It’s just a matter of when.

Did you know Donald Trump nominated Alexander Acosta as Secretary of Labor in 2017. Acosta was confirmed by the Senate and served in the role until his resignation in July 2019. What did he resign for?
Acosta's resignation came amid renewed scrutiny over a non-prosecution agreement he negotiated with Jeffrey Epstein in 2008, while Acosta was U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. This agreement allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges related to sex trafficking and instead plead guilty to state charges, serving a relatively lenient sentence. Critics, including alleged victims, argued that the deal was too lenient and that Epstein should have faced tougher federal prosecution. A federal judge later ruled that the agreement violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by failing to adequately inform the alleged victims. A Department of Justice review found that Acosta exercised "poor judgment" in the matter
