Scoop: Trump administration expects Epstein files release could last another week

Source: msn/Axios

11h


The Trump Administration estimates it has about one week to go —and as many as 700,000 more pages to review — before it finishes releasing all the Jeffrey Epstein files.

  • Meanwhile, they'll lose the PR war, day after day.


  • Why it matters: No other controversy has sandbagged President Trump and his administration like the Epstein files, the subject of a rare revolt by congressional Republicans and endless guilt-by-association news stories and social media commentary.

  • Trump and the Justice Department also have compounded their problems with clumsy messaging and puzzling redactions made while pledging transparency.
  • The White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X, an effort to finish out the year and the Epstein file disclosure requirements set by Congress.
  • The account is also taking on a sharper tone that has more of a rapid-response campaign edge and less of the stodgy just-the-facts tone associated with the department.


  • Driving the news: Tuesday's release of about 30,000 new investigative records highlighted the administration's predicament in mass-disclosing information. Numerous documents mentioned Trump and Epstein, but some of the headline-grabbing records are of questionable veracity.

    "Numerous documents mentioned Trump and Epstein, but some of the headline-grabbing records are of questionable veracity."

    The only one of questionable veracity is Trump.

    As long as they’re hiding Trump’s child rapes and abuse.

    It seems Trump never read Macbeth.
