The Trump administration needs to release the Epstein files. We will not be distracted by Trump’s impromptu summit with Putin, and we see it as the, “look at me,” arm flapping stunt that it is. Nothing will happen without Ukraine or the EU at the table, so why else would he call for this summit except to blather and blow smoke to distract the nation from the Epstein case and from his other follies and crimes at home? We know that Trump is named in the Epstein files, and he further incriminates himself by his repeated efforts to cover them up. He is leaning into his blowhard bluster to distract us, but it won’t work. Call out this Anchorage Summit farce for what it is, and release the Epstein files.
