The Spin

Democratic narrative

For months, Trump has blocked the Epstein files. Newly released emails reveal he knew about Epstein's abuse and spent "hours" with a victim at Epstein's home. Epstein called Trump "the dog that hasn't barked," suggesting Trump stayed silent about crimes he witnessed. This looks like a blatant cover-up. The American people deserve transparency and truth. It's time to release the files and expose what Trump is hiding.

Republican narrative

Democrats leaked selective Epstein emails to smear President Trump, hiding that the "unnamed victim" was Virginia Giuffre — the same woman who said Trump "couldn't have been friendlier" and never acted inappropriately. Trump expelled Epstein years ago for misconduct. Democrats are cherry-picking documents while hiding exonerating evidence to manufacture a political hoax and distract from Trump's accomplishments.

Cynical narrative

While uncovering new details about Trump is all well and good, Epstein's global reach continues through every institution he ever touched, from the U.S. and Israeli governments to universities and tech companies. Many connected to Epstein and his illicit schemes — surveillance technology executives, AI researchers and political figures — remain the most powerful people in the world. Full justice requires exposing and punishing everyone with ties to Epstein, not just a select number of politicians.
