Trump Says Epstein Scandal Over Because No Headlines Named Him 'Friendliest'

Trump Says Epstein Scandal Over Because No Headlines Named Him 'Friendliest'

KEY POINTS

  • The Justice Department released over three million Epstein files last week, reigniting controversy around major political figures.
  • Vice President JD Vance expressed openness to Prince Andrew testifying before Congress, aligning with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s suggestion.
  • Trump dismissed the latest Epstein revelations and expressed sympathy for Bill and Hillary Clinton who plan to testify.

In a plot twist juicier than a soap opera reboot, Trump declared on Tuesday that the 3-million-plus-page Epstein files are yesterday’s news, because the media utterly failed to paint him as Epstein’s BFF—major headline news, obviously. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance flirted with the idea of dragging London’s Prince Andrew before Congress for testimony, following UK PM Keir Starmer’s nod. Prince Andy denies wrongdoing, the British cops are poking around another woman’s claims, and Elon Musk plus Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick got name-checked in the docs, but Trump dismissed that like a Netflix cameo: 'They’re fine.' At the same time, Trump waved empathy at Bill and Hillary Clinton, saying he 'liked' Bill and gave props to Hillary’s debate skills—proof politics is just scripted chaos starring ex-presidents and archrivals. White House ghosted Axios on comment, so the intrigue lingers, but Trump’s ready to move on—to whatever’s next on the national soap.
