The Epstein saga has kicked off again – and it’s looking bad for Trump

36 comments

  1. Republicans in the House of Representatives delivered [Donald Trump ](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link)a wakeup call on Tuesday. The good news for the White House: they [voted to subpoena, among others, former president Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/bill-and-hillary-clinton-subpoenaed-to-testify-in-epstein-investigation-3844688?ico=in-line_link), compelling them to testify before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee as it investigates the [Jeffrey Epstein affair](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/desperate-trump-cannot-outrun-epstein-conspiracy-3830031?ico=in-line_link).  

    But they simultaneously delivered devastating news, sending a subpoena to Trump’s own Department of Justice in a fresh effort to force the White House to release Epstein-related documents and other evidence that many core Republican supporters suspect are being covered up.

    Publicly, congressman James Comer of Kentucky – the pro-Trump bulldog who chairs the committee – is vowing to haul the Clintons over the coals within the next 10 weeks. In a pugnacious [social media posting](https://x.com/RepJamesComer/status/1952729381983408550), he announced that [Hillary Clinton](https://inews.co.uk/topic/hillary-clinton?srsltid=AfmBOooP1C42ddQoeTtaHIyq8m7K8aGBVj7HwI06HZmh6WrwawuIptWz&ico=in-line_link) will be deposed by the Committee on 9 October, with her husband following on 14 October.

    Neither Clinton has yet agreed to that timeline, and both are expected to face probing questions from Republicans about the former President’s friendship with Epstein. Trump’s unproven allegations that Clinton made as many as “28 visits” to [Little Saint James](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/what-jeffrey-epstein-use-island-for-2836833?srsltid=AfmBOooGpJojz5F-WTDD_2R_aq8V8XVoifkIdrEHywCzClwIgGfsmZ3Q&ico=in-line_link), Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean, are sure to loom large in the conversation.

    If the Clintons agree to appear, it will be a blockbuster moment on Capitol Hill, even if their depositions are taken behind closed doors. Democrats stand accused of dragging their feet over the Epstein affair during President Joe Biden’s administration due to their concerns about the involvement of President Clinton and other prominent party grandees with the financier.

    Only last month, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi [told MSNBC](https://x.com/kenklippenstein/status/1945969067916959934) that conversations about Epstein were a “distraction” from “the kitchen table needs of the American people”. The less she wants to talk about the Clintons’ friendship with Epstein, the more Trump tries to deflect public attention towards it.

  2. Good, I hope it gets worse legally for him and that it also causes his health to self-destruct.

  3. A big part of the challenge for Trump is that he raped kids. That’s pretty unpopular.

  4. Regardless of what he did. You would think, in a decent America, any politician who has any association with Epstein, in any manner, would be disqualified. 

    Unfortunately there is nothing decent about America as it currently stands. 

  5. Trump, the accused child rapist? Convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender, Donald J. Trump?

  6. Question for anyone with underage, teenage daughters: is it ok if they work at a spa and have sex with wealthy, powerful men? 

    Serious question, because that is what this whole thing is desensitizing us too. This is, eventually, the question. As we enter into this epoch of oligarchy, which will eventually fail, are you ok with your daughters being used as playgrounds for your leaders? 

  7. Let’s wait for the day all these rapists actually face some consequences, all headlines like this just ended up nothing burger and the bad guys always get away

  8. The height of ‘whataboutism’ – Butwhatabout Bill Clinton?!!

    Hopefully this is the issue that Trump-hating Republicans – seeing how it has fractured the MAGA base – can jump on to finally oust this ignoramus.

  9. it’s not going away.

    when the orange pedo starts arresting people for talking about it, we’re just going to talk about it more.

  10. Committees can have meetings even when Congress is in recess. So why wait two months for the Clintons to testify?

  11. Very little is likely to happen unless we fucking Americans stop being so lazy and organize to demand it. We’re stuck so deep in meaningless bullshit that we’ve glided right the fuck into fascism

  12. If I was clinton, I’d pull a Trump and just talk about him the whole time…

  13. I won’t breathe a sigh of relief until Trump’s sitting in a courtroom.

  14. “Lucy has a firm grip on the ball as Chuck lines up for the kick…”

  15. All he had to do was not rape kids… It’s not that hard.

  17. If you voted for Trump you voted for a pedophile

  18. Wake me when the qanons are ready to take action against trump. Their little brains must be so confused 

  19. > and it’s looking bad for Trump

    His cult doesn’t care about that.

    Most humans say no to Diddlers. MAGA cheers them on.

  20. Trump wanted this statement to come out that Maxwell said he never did anything inappropriate around her. Everyone sees right through it.

  21. Just want Clinton to say that he’s seen Trump all the time on the pedo island.

  22. Nearly ten years since that tweet about Donny Trump easily wriggling his way out of this jam. Ten years of headlines like this. Unreal.

  24. Fuck Trump.

    He deserves to suffer a hundredfold for the shit he’s caused.

  25. > Three Republicans on the committee abandoned Trump and backed a move by Democrats demanding access to all Epstein documents no later than 19 August.

    For anybody wondering (or had forgotten):

    Nancy Mace (still doesn’t redeem her, IMO, she’s still an awful human being)

    Brian Jack

    Scott Perry

  26. “It’s looking bad for trump” has been written for years and Teflon don has everything roll right off him

  28. Bill Barr should call his brothers in as well. So many have so much to lose. Name them.

  30. Pedophiles suck. It’s a shame our president harbors and protects them.

  31. Stop with the “it’s looking bad” and actual report when any action occurs

  32. The headline bating “looks bad for Trump”… it’s just so over and done. Give me a headline when something actually comes of it, instead of “looks bad for Trump” or “Trump is angry” or something like that. When he actually gets arrested, y’all let me know.

  33. Where was the media and the democrats during the election with this? 

  34. How is bad for Trump? lol hopium much? Or clickbait?

    DOJ already made a deal with Ghislaine. Shes going to get lenience or a pardon. She already got an upgrade to her jail cell, she was moved and now it’s more like a house arrest, in exchange for clearing Trump, which she already partly did. Then they will incriminate Democrats and even press charges against some of them as a distraction and just pure revenge.

    Once they start arresting Biden and Obama officials the media will quickly move away from Epstein. There was a poll today that showed that 45% of Republican voters would still support Trump even if he’s implicated in the Epstein scandal.

    With a DOJ and SCOTUS filled with loyalists Trump will never face consequences for any of his actions. Forget it, it’s over.

  35. No it’s fucking not. Nothing is happening to that piece of shit

  36. “It’s looking bad for Trump” is a headline that appears every week. Yet sycophants still bow.
