"Here are the two contradictions lying at the heart of the contretemps over Trump and Jeffrey Epstein:
1. As early as May, Trump knew his name was in the Epstein files. Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy informed Trump at a meeting in the White House that his name appeared 'multiple times.'”

"But on July 15, when a journalist asked Trump, 'Did [Bondi] tell you at all that your name appeared in the files?' Trump responded, 'No, no.'
2. Bondi said in February that Epstein’s client list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review.'
But on July 7, the Justice Department stated that a thorough review had turned up no list of Epstein’s clients."
"The fact that a sitting president is lying to the American people should be a presidency-ending scandal. But the media accepts that Trump lies incessantly and gives him a pass. His habitual lying is the background to a story, not the story itself."
~ Robert B. Hubbell

"Lots of people’s names end up in an investigative file. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve done anything wrong. That makes it interesting that Trump won’t agree to release the files even though he said he would during the campaign."
~ Joyce Vance
"And let’s be clear: if those files contained anything that exonerated Donald, they would have been released already."
