'POTUS is clearly furious': White House is frustrated by all-consuming Epstein coverage
www.politico.com
... President Donald Trump is angry. His team is exasperated. The Republican-controlled House is in near rebellion.
Trump and his closest allies thought they'd spend the summer taking a well-earned victory lap, having coaxed Congress into passing the megabill, bullied foreign governments into a slew of new trade arrangements, convinced NATO allies to spend billions more on collective defense and pressed world leaders to bow to various other demands from Doha to The Hague.
Instead, questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, who was found dead in his jail cell by suicide nearly six years ago, are overshadowing almost everything else.
"POTUS is clearly furious," said a person close to the White House, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to discuss the mood inside the West Wing. "It's the first time I've seen them sort of paralyzed." ...
Trump leans on diversion tactics again. But Epstein files may test their limits.
www.csmonitor.com
... As President Donald Trump continues to find himself in the middle of an unprecedented uproar among his MAGA base over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, he appears to be leaning into the strategy that has gotten him out of difficult positions so many times before: diversion.
In a matter of days, the president has threatened a stadium deal for the Washington Commanders if they don't change their name back to the Redskins, suggested that Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff should go to prison, and filed a $20 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story related to his relationship with sex offender Mr. Epstein. His director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, released 230,000 pages of files on the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. She also says she has turned over documents to the Department of Justice for criminal referral that show the Obama administration was part of a "treasonous conspiracy" to subvert the 2016 presidential election. The "Russia hoax" about foreign interference during that election was the "THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!," Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social, along with another post of an AI-generated video of former President Barack Obama getting arrested in the Oval Office.
At a news availability with the president of the Philippines on Tuesday, Mr. Trump was repeatedly asked about Mr. Epstein. He responded by pivoting to allegations against Mr. Obama and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, saying "that's the witch hunt you should be talking about." ...
Sealed Epstein documents to get fresh review in defamation case
torontosun.com
... A three-judge panel in New York said Wednesday that a lower court judge had applied the wrong standard in keeping the documents sealed and ordered a new review. The defamation case was brought by Virginia Giuffre against Epstein's former associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre had accused Epstein of sexually abusing her as a teenager. She died by suicide in April. Giuffre's family said at the time that the "toll of abuse" had become unbearable for her. ...

Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name featured multiple times in a "truckload" of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
-They should have been yelling about epstein ever since trump had him killed.
I mean the adults in the democratic party. What should they do?
It starts with ...what exactly do they have? photos of a wedding?
I can't account for the criminal behavior of the 500 people who attended my wedding 27 years ago.

Thune: Johnson will have to deal' with Epstein mess
www.politico.com
... Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Wednesday that Speaker Mike Johnson has to figure out a way forward on the Jeffrey Epstein controversy that's derailed House business until the fall.
"In some fashion, in some way, he's going to have to handle it and deal with it," Thune said during an interview from his Senate office. "And it sounds like, yeah, that'll be a September [issue]." ...
House ending session early as Republicans clash over Epstein vote
apnews.com
... House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, instead sending members home early for a month-long break from Washington after the week's legislative agenda was upended by Republican members who are clamoring for a vote.
Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, said Tuesday morning that he wants to give the White House "space" to release the Epstein information on its own, despite the bipartisan push for legislation that aims to force the release of more documents.
"There's no purpose for the Congress to push an administration to do something they're already doing," Johnson said at his weekly news conference, his last before lawmakers depart Washington on Wednesday for their traditional August recess. ...
@#57 ... Epstein was a pedo. Trump was party pals with a pedo for decades. God knows what they did together. ...
Well, God and maybe the DoJ.
But the question remains, will they suppress or become transparent and reveal?
PressSec: "President Trump is truly the most transparent & accessible President in American history"

Yeah, let's see some of that promised transparency ...
