Guess what the White House is doing now to bury Epstein secrets



Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky revealed on Wednesday that a
billionaire “on Epstein’s black book” is bankrolling ads against him, joining
in President Donald Trump’s pressure campaign against Republicans pushing for
the release of government data on Jeffrey Epstein.

In an appearance on CNN’s “The Source,” Massie said that there is an “immense
pressure campaign” in progress from the Trump White House against the few
breakaway Republicans who have joined Democrats in pushing for the release of
Epstein information.

Massie praised Reps. Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Nancy Mace
for facing “threats from the White House” after expressing support for a
discharge petition that would require government disclosure on the case.

A White House official told reporters that support for the petition would “be
viewed as a very hostile act to the administration.”

“There’s been $2.5 million of ads run against me by three billionaires who are
mega donors to the Republican Party,” Massie explained. “One of them’s
actually—I’m not going to say on Epstein’s list—but he’s in Epstein’s black
book.”

Epstein was the alleged head of a sex-trafficking network that abused hundreds
of young women, some of them underage. He died in prison before his trial
began. A rumored client list revealing the men who benefitted from Epstein’s
actions is among the documents that many believe is in the possession of the
government. The Trump administration is refusing to disclose the materials in
its possession related to the case after Trump said he would do so.

The survivors of Epstein’s abuse have pushed the issue back to the forefront
following a summer of Trump activity meant to bury the story. Survivors and
their families have been speaking to the media, have held a listening session
with Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, and held a press event on
Wednesday.

Marijke Chartouni, who said Epstein sexually assaulted her, told NBC News she
questioned why Trump “seems to value [criminals] more than us.”

Despite the high public interest in the victims receiving justice, Trump
complained to reporters on Wednesday that the story was “irrelevant” and once
again falsely claimed that the story was a “Democrat hoax that never ends.”

A July report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that Attorney General Pam
Bondi reportedly told Trump that his name appeared in the Epstein files.

Democrats have led the charge for Epstein files disclosure in its entirety.
The House Oversight Committee has released some Justice Department files in the
Epstein case, but most are already public. Aside from a handful of Republicans
like Massie, the GOP has aligned itself with Trump in defense of pedophiles.

Following the press conference by victims of Epstein, Massachusetts Rep.
Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat, praised their strength.

“Survivors everywhere deserve accountability—from those who shared their
truths of Epstein's abuse, to those who joined in solidarity today. I see you &
I'm proud to stand with you,” she wrote. “Together, we'll keep pushing for a
Congressional hearing & the release of the full Epstein files.”
