Episode notes
Trump Now Closer To Epstein Story
- The newly released Epstein emails mention Donald Trump multiple times but contain no direct public evidence implicating him in crimes.
- Epstein's own testimony suggests Trump knew aspects of the scandal, which politically risks him despite lacking legal proof.
White House Pushes Distractor Narrative
- The White House frames the email releases as timed political attacks and points to unreliable sources like Epstein and Michael Wolfe to discredit them.
- That strategy seeks to blunt news momentum but risks appearing defensive if the administration aggressively pressures Republicans.
Prepare For A House Vote Next Week
- Expect a House vote next week on releasing the full Epstein files after Republicans and Democrats petitioned for it.
- Prepare for further procedural hurdles in the Senate and additional political fights even if the House votes to release them.
