One of the least polarizing and most widely agreed-upon political subjects of this summer was the complete lack of fresh news regarding the Epstein files. Jeffrey Epstein is the late sex offender who was known for his private island, containing younger women, where he supposedly invited like-minded people and big names. He was charged with sex trafficking underage women, and he died in prison in 2019. His secrets of who he invited and who he talked to died with him. Oh… Wait.

According to the BBC, President Trump promised to release the files last year as part of his campaign. Now, as of Aug., we know that the FBI has quite literally redacted the President’s name from the files, as stated by Newsweek. Now, let’s examine who is in charge of the FBI. This (as informed by AP News) would be Kash Patel, our Attorney General, specifically appointed by President Donald Trump. However, we now know that this is insanely coincidental, and our president had zero involvement in these redactions.

Trump has recently labeled the Epstein files as “irrelevant”, as stated by ABC News. In the past, he has also claimed to have nothing to do with the letter and called this a democratic hoax. A subject that has remained a topic of discourse since before July is certainly irrelevant, and it surely does not matter that he was documented as one of Jeffrey Epstein’s greatest friends. His recent assertion that the Epstein files are irrelevant after his extremely dependable promise to release them in November has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed him that his name was in the files during a briefing, as reported by The New York Times.

Anyway, all this to say, didn’t we actually impeach Bill Clinton for an affair scandal with that White House intern? Not trying to sound 40 years older, but times have changed. Fortunately, we have a proper investigation going into this issue, and those guilty will serve fair and just repercussions, no matter their power or status.
