So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.

Donald Trump, speaking almost simultaneously with the Epstein survivors: “This is a Democrat hoax” Just a disgusting lie-in every sense •It’s not the Democrats •It’s not a hoax •And he could easily clarify everything by releasing the files But he won’t-and I think we all know why

Shockingly, it turns out that when CBS handed $16 million over to Trump's "presidential library," it didn't placate him in the least. Kristi Noem has now used precisely the same scam, a phony accusation of deceptive editing, that Trump used to extort CBS last time! newrepublic.com/article/1998...
