Tucker Carlson is now openly alleging that the Trump-era FBI -- not just Biden's -- is lying about critical details of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is the core, explosive thrust of his just-released video (embedded below): that the very federal law-enforcement leadership now serving in Trump's second term -- including his newly installed FBI team led by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino -- is obscuring what really happened on the rooftop where Thomas Crooks nearly killed a former president. read more

Do you have a link to Trump "promising" to release the Epstein files?
#17 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Alexa, do you have a link to Trump "promising" to release the Epstein files?

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump expressed a willingness to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein in several interviews, though he often qualified these statements by noting concerns about "phony" information.
Following a period of resistance from his administration in 2025, a bipartisan push led to the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump signed into law on November 19, 2025. This law mandated the release of all unclassified DOJ records related to Epstein within 30 days.
Key Interview Links and Statements
Lex Fridman Podcast (September 2024): Trump stated he would be "inclined" to release the files and said, "I'd have no problem with it".

Fox News Interview (June 2024): When asked if he would declassify the files, Trump replied, "Yeah, yeah, I would". However, unedited footage later showed he added that he didn't want to "affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there".
Current Status of the Files (December 2025)
Official Release: The Justice Department began releasing thousands of pages of files on December 19, 2025.
Where to Access: You can access the released documents directly on the Department of Justice's official website (or via searchable archives such as those provided by CBS News).
Redactions: The initial release has faced criticism from lawmakers for being "heavily redacted," with some documents, including a 119-page grand jury transcript, reportedly blacked out entirely. The DOJ has stated that more files will be released on a rolling basis.
