In the world of politics, many are wondering, “Where them Epstein files at?”
It’s the topic that just won’t go away. Though, according to his critics, President Donald Trump is working overtime to change the national topic.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Trump is mentioned in the yet-to-be-released FBI files related to the prosecution of convicted sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. That has only inflamed the loud chorus of Democrats AND Republicans urging Trump to release the files.

If you know anything about Trump, he doesn’t like a negative headline about him. The former New York tabloid reality star turned president is known to “flood the zone” of news stories, oftentimes taking attention away from stories that are politically damaging or simply not flattering. That’s why Democrats say Trump’s recent release of FBI files about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and call for former President Barack Obama’s arrest is an attempt to distract from the Epstein controversy.
It’s not yet clear whether the public will learn more information about the Epstein case or details about Trump’s years-long friendship with Epstein; however, something tells me this story isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
In other political news this week, Black conservative darling Candace Owens is facing a defamation lawsuit for her claims that the French president’s wife was “born a man.” Meanwhile, Trump signed an executive order targeting his latest DEI victim: “Woke AI.”
