Trump Pushes Republicans to Release Epstein Files in Sudden Flip-Flop Amid Infighting

Trump Pushes Republicans to Release Epstein Files in Sudden Flip-Flop Amid Infighting
  • 20 minutes
Trump now says the GOP should release everything they know about the Epstein files after feuding with them not to, and at once claiming there are no files for Max. [00:00:18] Trump is basically saying no, no, no, no. The Republicans are the ones who didn't want to release it. I was cool with it from the from the jump. Oh yeah. Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, [00:00:35] a startling reversal from his previously held notion that people in his party didn't even care about Jeffrey Epstein anymore. He basically said, Jeffrey, who we still talking about, Jeffrey Epstein? [00:00:54] One thing to note is that Donald Trump, as president of the United States has the power to release the files without an act of Congress. Notably, Trump can simply order his Department of Justice, which is part of the executive branch that he controls, to release the Epstein files [00:01:13] without congressional authorization. However, he has so far refused to do so. Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informed the president that his name appears and files a whole bunch of times. [00:01:31] There's more. So Trump wrote on social media. And this was late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida. Quote. We have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat hoax [00:01:50] perpetrated by radical Left lunatics in order to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party. I don't care in all caps. [00:02:06] All I do care about is the Republicans getting back on point. There was a lot more, but I only have an hour and a half. [00:02:24] So Trump, says release it. And when it comes out, just know it's a Democratic hoax, okay? It's not real. It's perpetrated by the radical left. So if you see his name mentioned a bunch of times in in appropriate situations, [00:02:42] context and scenarios, just know he has told you it's a Democratic hoax and only the radical left believe in it. And I know you're not going to fall for it. I know you're not because I've interviewed so many former Trump supporters [00:02:59] on this program who said they believe in Trump, even though none of us did. Some people did. Now Trump is saying that you are part of the radical left. If you believe in yourself, if you believe that you are right [00:03:18] in demanding the release of these files, which I concur with you. If you believe you are right, I believe you are right today. If you believe in yourself, no, you are right. This man is no champion for you. [00:03:37] Never has been. He never will be. There's more. Put up. Trump's statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly Nasty split [00:03:55] with Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been one of his fiercest supporters. Trump publicly called it quits with Greene last week and said he would endorse a challenger against her in 2026. [00:04:14] Quote, if the right person runs Marjorie Taylor Greene. Keep that picture up, Jake. May have had a little bit to do with this, by the way. He brought her on, and she hasn't been the same ever since. [00:04:29] Trump would outright call her a traitor, by posting Marjorie traitor Greene. She might as well come on over. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a disgrace to our great Republican Party. [00:04:45] Hold on. Just stop for a second. Trump. You're a Republican again. What's going on with the branding? Your son said there's no more Republican Party. It's only MAGA now. What happened to MAGA, man? Now you. You're just a regular Republican. [00:05:01] That's that's the new brand. The new brand is that he's a real Republican. Okay. Here's how Greene responded to that post. The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor. And that is that is so extremely wrong. [00:05:20] And those are the types of words, used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger. Unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files, and that is shocking. And, you know, I stand with these women, I stand with victims. [00:05:38] I stand with children who are in terrible sex abuse situations, and I stand with survivors of of trafficking and those that are trapped in, in sex trafficking. And I will not apologize for that. I believe the country deserves transparency in these files. [00:05:56] And I don't believe that that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have if they have done anything wrong. And and so I'm standing with the women and I will continue to do my small part [00:06:12] to get the files released. Yeah. Why? Marjorie Taylor Greene, may be a conspiracy theorist. Fraternized with known bigots and racists has said some of the most ridiculous [00:06:30] things I've ever heard an elected leader in my life say out loud. She's right on this one. She is correct. It comes down to the Epstein files. That's it. [00:06:46] The smoke and mirrors are about the Epstein files. If the right person runs well, he's saying if a person who doesn't give a damn about the Epstein file, if they run, he will support them. [00:07:02] I would bet that if a Democrat would run against Marjorie Taylor Greene and convince Trump they don't care about the Epstein files, he will endorse that Democrat. Last week, talk about the emails. Last week members. [00:07:21] Well, let me do this first. Trump did respond. He doubles down. Here's Trump's response is typical. Here it is. Her life is in danger. Who's that? - Marjorie Taylor Greene. - He says Marjorie Taylor Greene. I don't think her life is in danger. [00:07:37] I don't think, frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her. Okay. What about you? So Donald Trump talks, you know, like a seven year old. You mean Marjorie Taylor Greene? [00:07:54] This has been his way since day one. He hasn't changed. He's become more childlike in his delivery, his name calling. And there's a part of the inner child. And a whole lot of folk that celebrated this thought. It was funny. I sure did. When he was giving those 18 Republicans on stage when he ran [00:08:13] for the Republican primary the first time, a run for their money, saying the most silliest and, derogatory things you can say about a person's hand size, etc. But at some point it became real life when, well, [00:08:30] he started polling at number one. The guy who cracks the jokes, the guy who's the most immature, may make you laugh at a bar, but it's not necessarily the guy you want to be your commander in chief. Okay. So last week, members of the House Oversight Committee [00:08:48] released thousands of emails to and from Epstein, which were obtained with Epstein's estate via a subpoena. This was from the estate by way of subpoena. [00:09:05] They are not to be confused, however, with the aforementioned Epstein files held by the DOJ. Currently. In one 2011 email to the author Michael Wolff. [00:09:23] Epstein alleged that Trump, quote, knew about the girls, knew about the girls. Epstein's email did not elaborate, but given his well, [00:09:41] sensation for underage girls. The remark has raised serious questions about Trump's acknowledged Trump's knowledge or acknowledgment of his once friend's activities. Elsewhere, Epstein claimed he gave Trump his ex-girlfriend, gave Trump his [00:09:58] ex-girlfriend, gave as in objectified. That is an object I'm able to give another human being to another human being. It was Trump who told us on national news during a press conference as he's president of the United States. [00:10:13] The reason he fell out with Epstein really had nothing to do with his other activities that he was accused of. It was because he stole Epstein, stole the help from his establishments, and he [00:10:31] said, a good guy just doesn't do that. There's more. A newly unearthed email at 2019 shows that Jeffrey Epstein was aware that President Donald Trump may have been misrepresenting the value of his assets, [00:10:51] an allegation that would get president hit with a $454 million fraud judgment in 2024. Quote, Trump was a front man for money laundering, according to Epstein. [00:11:09] This, wrote Gollop, the general manager of the consultancy firm FRD, in a social media post on Sunday. This person shared an email unearthed in the latest release of a trove of Epstein messages last week. [00:11:24] People are going through them. Quote, Donald doesn't really own very much. He rents out his name, he puts it on buildings, projects, etc. For a royalty or piece of the upside. He then claims the asset is and then quote, wrote Epstein in an email [00:11:40] to himself dated January 15th, 2019, just months before his eventual death in prison, just months before his eventual death in prison, just months before his eventual death in prison. Quote. He represents his income as the gross receipts of his club [00:11:55] means nothing at all zero. No income as we know it. He lists his assets in their value, but not the corresponding loans against it. So no net number, hence meaningless. Hence fraud is what that means. [00:12:11] He dies two months later. Or unalive. According to the report of February 2017, in an email to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Epstein wrote of Trump, quote, I have met some very bad people. [00:12:28] Not as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. So, yes. Dangerous Dress in July. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, who was previously Trump's personal lawyer, interviewed Epstein associate Maxwell, [00:12:48] right hand woman of Epstein, who had 2021, was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for child sex trafficking. One of the most horrendous things you could ever imagine a human being would dedicate their life to doing. Maxwell told Blanch that she had never witnessed Trump [00:13:05] engaging in illegal activity. After the interview, the Department of Justice transferred Maxwell, a convicted child trafficker, to a low security facility where she receives customized [00:13:21] meals and is allowed to play with dogs. The Department of Justice officials, who have been directors of that agency, went on record and said they have never in their lives given a deal like that [00:13:39] to a convicted child trafficker. Here's the irony. Typically, if they would give that deal, it would be in lieu of information [00:13:55] for a conviction or information in lieu of a criminal enterprise coming down. She has already been convicted. There was no leverage that she had, other [00:14:10] than perhaps the leverage of keeping her mouth, mouth closed about Donald Trump. There's more. Emails involving Bill Clinton. Let's talk about it. [00:14:28] President Donald Trump has also implied that Clinton went to the island in the November 14th Truth Social post, saying Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan Chase and Clinton quote, spent large portions of their life [00:14:46] with Epstein on his island. Now, before I continue, I brought this up when he made the post and I said, you know how Trump knows? Perhaps it's because Trump was there. Trump is in the circle. Okay, so he makes this post. [00:15:03] The late Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre says, has said she saw Clinton there but never but never saw him doing anything illegal, Epstein said in an email. Part of thousands of documents released by the committee on November 12th that Bill Clinton never went to the island. Clinton was never, ever there. [00:15:21] Never. Epstein wrote this in emails that he did not consider to be, well, public, nor would they become public. I'm speaking of Clinton rumors. So after an email, in the Jeffrey Epstein files went viral for his reference [00:15:36] to President Donald Trump blowing Bubba. That's a quote, by the way. Jeffrey's brother is offering clarification about the message. The documents include an email from Mark Epstein that referenced photos of Trump 79. Quote blowing Bubba. [00:15:53] Bubba is a nickname of Bill Clinton. However, Mark told The Advocate in a story published on Sunday, November 16th, that the individual isn't the former president. Quote, for the avoidance of doubt, the reference to Bubba in the correspondence [00:16:09] is not in any way a reference to former president Bill Clinton. Mark said in a statement to the outlet. Allie Clark, a spokesperson for Mark, told The Advocate that, quote, Bubba is a, quote, private individual who is not a public figure. Mark also explained that the email exchange was being misread. [00:16:28] Quote, they were simply part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers that were never meant for public release or to be interpreted as serious remarks, he told The Advocate when asked for additional context about the message. [00:16:47] Martin declined to give any more details. Okay. Alright, so Bubba is not Clinton. That doesn't explain the message. All right. There's a lot here, dear brother. Thoughts? [00:17:04] Wow. There's so much to break down. I don't know where to begin. And I think that the more we spend on more time spent on Bill Clinton, the more we are doing exactly what Donald Trump wants us to do. So let's talk about Donald Trump, and we'll talk about I mean, I'm going [00:17:21] to say one thing, but I mean slightly. I don't even know if it's controversial. He's the president. I think it's a good political move, what the president did by saying, let's release everything. There was an inevitability that these were going to get released. And now what he's doing is he's freeing every Republican in Congress [00:17:38] to vote for their release so that there is no division within that party. So in a sense, it's a victory for the House, because what they're doing is they're saying, you know, we follow you all the time. Now you're following us. And now, the Trump, rather than leading MAGA, is following MAGA in this way. [00:17:58] It's interesting. And all the time I spent with Trump voters in the last election, many of them were saying that the bridge too far for them would be if Epstein's stuff was true, if there was an association with Trump, with Epstein, it was an Achilles heel [00:18:14] that I hadn't even been able to predict. I couldn't believe it. And I don't I didn't know then that it was really true, but it was an easy thing to say. They doubted that Trump was involved with Epstein, but they said if he were involved, that would make them reconsider their support for Trump, which was [00:18:30] a pretty astonishing when I heard it. The fact that this is happening now speaks to me more about kind of the lame duck president that Donald Trump has becoming a little bit early, earlier than we expected. So now what we're seeing is this is a vulnerable man. [00:18:46] He's vulnerable on this issue. Clearly, it doesn't matter, really. It matters in terms of human interest. If Larry Summers or Bill Clinton or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, were with Jeffrey Epstein. [00:19:01] Only one of those people is the president of the United States right now. Only one of those people has been covering this up with his Justice Department. So that's the most important part here. And now you're seeing people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans feel a little freer about criticizing the president. [00:19:19] There are a lot of ambitious people, 535 35 ambitious people on Capitol Hill. Some of them want to be President Doctor Ritchie, and some of them want to be the Republican nominee in order to be the Republican nominee. You're going to have to separate yourself from MAGA, from the president. [00:19:35] You're going to have to find those flaws and focus on them. And I think that's the beginning of what you're seeing here right now. So that inevitability, to me is the biggest part of this right now. And it's, you know, I think prudent because it makes it go away. In a sense. [00:19:50] The fighting, he doesn't want infighting within the Republican Party. They don't want to fight amongst themselves. They want to show unity. He's allowing them to do that. What comes out of this, though, is not going to be pretty for the president. It's not going to be pretty for his Justice Department. I think Kash Patel is going to be the first person to go when it comes [00:20:07] to what happens with the Epstein files. Wow. That would be amazing. And I've heard others, in Congress say that, Kash Patel will be the first to go. All right. We'll bring you updates as they come.
