Jeffrey Epstein died over six years ago, yet his shadow still looms large.
The Left spent years insisting incriminating evidence on President Donald Trump was hiding in the Epstein documents, but now that the files are finally being released, a very different picture is emerging.
Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the facts—why 90% of Epstein’s political donations went to Democrats, why the Biden DOJ sat on the trove for years, and how the rush to implicate Trump may have backfired spectacularly—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“There is even a fourth- or fifth-dimensional chess explanation. And I'll throw it out there. In other words, Donald Trump knew that he was not in those files. But he had heard…that 90% of the references of fundraising and money and associates, to the degree they were political, involved Democrats. He also knew that, unlike himself, who had ostracized Jeffrey Epstein before he was convicted of trafficking and sexual crimes—that is, before he was a de facto pedophile—he had distanced himself and others had not.
“The Democrats would overreach and say, ‘Get it out. Get it out. Get it out.’ And he thought: Ah, they didn't get it out because they are incriminated. And now they've leaked all they can about me. And unlike me, a lot of these people were involved after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of a sexual crime. And I'm just gonna let them demand and clamor, until an opportune moment, I will release it.”
