Via everyone:

Republicans just unanimously voted to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.

Via Leah McElrath:

And Trump is now calling the Epstein files a “hoax” after running on releasing them.

@GottaLaff they are hell bent on destroying the USA as we know it.
@GottaLaff It took him long enough to get to "hoax"
@WarnerCrocker @GottaLaff Now instead of Russia Russia Russia he will whine Epstein Epstein Epstein. Hey, it made Russia go away.
@GottaLaff And a hoax it was! (him running on releasing them)
@GottaLaff They’ve already kicked in the propaganda influencers - Charlie Cuck, Scott “scatter brained” Adams, Dinesh Dalooza… all claiming “it’s time to move on”

@GottaLaff Voting to block the release of the non-existent files!

SMDH

@harmonygritz The files exist. We saw part one.

There's more.

The LIST may not exist.

@GottaLaff I remember when DC's biggest problem was the Mayflower Madam's escort service details.

With or without a list, there's a problem.

@GottaLaff whoever has a copy just leak that shit already
@GottaLaff
If there's a "Deep Throat" out there--
America is calling.

@GottaLaff

Republican dads just want it released to help them feel better about what they do to their own kids, physically and mentally, by seeing some personal heroes on the list, and to rage about all the lefty politicians and Hollyweird types on it without a single drop of irony.

@GottaLaff Well, the republicans are the party of sexual abusers. I'm not saying that all these right wing hacks are. But they just all seem to look the other way whenever any claims of child abuse are made... And, this is further proof of that... But, if I had to guess, a bunch of republican names are implicated in the Epstein files...

@GottaLaff

If Trump isn't all over the files, he's doing everything possible to make it *seem* like he's all over the files.

The "hoax" thing is probably just in case anything leaks.

Or his brain is mush, and "it's a hoax" is just now a default dodge against criticism.

People losing their Medicare? Hoax. Inflation rising, job numbers falling? Hoax. Disaster response criticized? Hoax.

@GottaLaff I am sure this will go over well with the maga crowd.
@GottaLaff My guess is, it’s not like he has a choice🍸🙀
@GottaLaff
I've been listening to the Meidas Touch podcast and they are spot on. Ghislaine Maxwell is going to use Trump's comments to get off in her appeal.
