Inside the White House Freakout Over the Epstein Files - NY Times (unlocked gift article link) - Lemmy.World

EDITED url to unlocked gift article link kindly provided by [email protected]. Many thanks! ----------- The president’s top advisers gathered in a series of Situation Room meetings as they struggled to contain a scandal engulfing Donald Trump himself. By Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan June 10, 2026 On July 17, 2025, at around 6 o’clock in the evening, President Trump’s top officials filed into the White House Situation Room — the secure bunker where classified and high-stakes national security matters are discussed and decided. This was where President Barack Obama, along with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the president’s national security team, watched the raid that ended with the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011. Now, however, Trump’s most senior advisers had gathered — without him — to figure out how to gain some measure of control over a very different kind of crisis threatening to engulf the presidency: the Epstein files. Ten days earlier, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. had jointly released a memo that bluntly stated that their review had found no “client list” of powerful men for whom the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had allegedly procured underage girls and young women. Intended to put to rest years of speculation and end the pressure campaign to release the voluminous material in the department’s possession, the memo instead had the opposite effect, setting off a backlash that was notably loud among the MAGA base. And it was about to get worse: The Wall Street Journal was preparing a damaging article about Trump’s relationship with Epstein. The president’s desperate attempts to kill the story had failed. His team now had to get everyone onto the same page about how to counter the growing swarm of attention. They needed a gesture of transparency to appease an increasingly angry base, but also a way to convey the message that the president was sympathetic to his supporters’ concerns. Which itself was a problem, because he clearly wasn’t.

Its all about #Epstein #EpsteinFiles and #OperationEpsteinFury

I am pretty well convinced at this point that the real truth behind the #LolitaFlights and #sexisland will only come out after #Trump is dead...

But when he is gone,... it will all come out and it will be truly disgusting... (as if it were not already...)

..and no #Jeffery did NOT commit #Suicide...

The U.S. Felon demanded a gag on all discussion of #Epstein at TurningPoint USA. Charlie Kirk wouldn't agree. Trump was furious.

Then Laura Loomer kicked Kirk out of the maga cult via social media post and said that Charlie was a "traitor"

And then Charlie got whacked?

Trump Lost It at Charlie Kirk for Continuing to Talk About Epstein

Kirk did not stop his Turning Point colleagues from discussing the files, much to Donald Trump’s dismay.
