The White House is planning to use the Epstein files against Democrats after they, in addition to several Republicans, successfully pressured lawmakers to vote to compel the Justice Department to release the remainder of the files against Donald Trump’s wishes.

After both chambers of Congress agreed to send the Epstein Files Transparency Act to Trump’s desk, two unnamed White House officials indicated to Politico that they plan to draw attention to Democrats who communicated with or were associated with Epstein.

“Democrats only started talking about the Epstein files once they thought they could use it to score political points against President Trump,” an unnamed White House official told Politico. “That will prove to be a mistake for them.”

    Umm, does he not realise we would also want those pedophiles in jail too?

    Like sure ‘every pedophile’ is better, but half is a good start, we’ll get the rest in due time. Stuff is constantly leaking.

      Trump is such a dumbass.

      The Democratic pedos are not going to jail without trials.

      I can’t wait to hear what comes out in those.

        Even if it is someone you actively wanted, the reaction should be to feel betrayed by then falling to love up to your standards, not to try to rationalize child sex trafficking to preserve your image of the guy.
