Epstein-Trump coverup: Why is Donald Trump acting like a cornered rat? ("But his emails" edition)

 

Emails and headline:  New York Times, 11/13/2025

Sam Sifton reports:

In death, Jeffrey Epstein became a permanent feature of American political life. 

In life, the financier eventually charged with trafficking girls hosted parties for rich and powerful people. President Trump socialized with him and sent him a bespoke birthday greeting shaped like a naked lady. (Trump denies he made it.) Many liberal luminaries were in Epstein’s orbit, too. 

A curious nation wondered why. What did Epstein offer them? Did he have anything on them? Now majorities in both parties think there must be … something. A majority in the House of Representatives wants whatever it is to come out.
