The president doth protest too much: Trump’s denial on Epstein is backfiring | Donald Trump

Trump Chronicler Maggie Haberman had to be chased: If Trump did not sign his birthday card or other documents published by Jeffrey Epstein’s property, the reporter asked in a quiet but persistent tone, what is the work theory of working?

The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The President has one of the most famous signatures in the world” Replied on Tuesday. “The President did not write this letter. He did not sign these documents.”

Leavitt will have to do better than that. The typewriter written in the draft draft of a naked woman seems to be a compelling proof of the relationship between the US president and the world’s most famous pedophile sex smugglers.

The press briefing at the White House, Tuesday, was the last demonstration that Epstein files were scandaling that refused to die. Leavitt threw Roman candles, Catherine wheels and smoke bombs in the air, hoping to distract journalists. But Donald could not break the suspicion that Trump was something to hide.

The White House, which is typically full of Brio and Swagger, is confusing this time because Trump behaves out of character. For years, he reversed the politician’s play book, saying the silent part loudly and abuse, who was badly in the public opinion. In the 2016 Presidential debate, Hillary Clinton accused him of escaping from tax, Trump,: “This makes me smart.”

But now, he always acts like what he’s always condemned: a typical politician. Watergate was deadly for Richard Nixon because of the coatings and the disintegration of journalists to collect valuable information. British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner spent more than a year by defending the press financial press examination on the right before having to leave a low tax on an apartment this week.

The former Trump would do the opposite and publish all Epstein files, even if they were personally guilty, as he promised during the election campaign. It is better to swim him, to lie about it and to distribute some things rather than prolonging the smell of privacy.

Instead, reporters received reporters on the subject. The man who usually has a comment about everything on Tuesday He told NBC News: “I don’t comment on something that is a dead problem.”

He also made rough effort to clean his name. When Rupert Murdoch filed a $ 10 billion case against Wall Street Journal, a report of a $ 10 billion for the presence of his birthday book and the existence of his letter, he became the first seating chairman to sue for a slander. If the case continued, the magazine’s lawyers would probably have the chance to dismiss Trump about his relationship with Epstein.

In July, Trump interviewed the Ministry of Justice Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who sentenced him to 20 years in prison for hiring girls who are not invisible for the financier. The episode later released a transcript and audio recording of the Interview and said Maxwell Trump was never “inappropriate with anyone”. Later, he moved from a prison in Florida to the minimum security facility in Texas.

Selanda leaves Trump’s Pugnacious team in the unknown region. When the 2003 birthday letter was released by the Congress Democrats, Taylor Budowich, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the White House, published various pictures on Trump’s signature X for years and “This is not his signature” – did not convince anyone.

On Tuesday, Leavitt presented a similar defense in the briefing, which implies that a cunning time must jump back for 22 years to sew Trump’s signature to the documents, so they can try to fly the future presidency into the air.

However He insisted too: “I didn’t say that the documents were a scam. I said that all narratives surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, who now suck most of the liberal cable channels on television, were a deception that was carried out by opportunistic democrats.”

The press secretary, who pressureed what he meant with a scam, said, “Ramishing is democrats who act as if they care about the victims of crime when they don’t care about crime victims.”

The democrats will not wash this time because it is the smell of blood, because Trump’s own supporters remain constant and the President’s refusal to release Epstein files adds only intrigue. Trump’s scandal reaction is very Trumpian. Nothing can do more to feed speculation that there is really something destructive on his pages.
