President Donald Trump says he has ordered the justice department to produce additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” he said.

It’s unclear if Trump is authorising the public release of these documents. Such action would typically require court approval.

Yeah Bondi, slap together some more doctored BS to tell whatever story you need to tell. Maybe more “raw unedited footage” pasted together and missing 3 minutes.

    This distraction rhetoric is fucking stupid. They are doing a lot of bad things at the same time so you cant focus on all of it at once. they don’t care what you’re focusing on just that not everyone is focused on the same things so a group is harder to form. It’s why we (the left) need to keep hitting on the list. It’s clearly a weak point and there is blood in the water so we need to keep pushing. There are some MAGA that are waking up because of this.

      I see your point, but it still feels like press bait to me. Is there any way what gets released can be verified to be authentic? I have seen one or two MAGA supporters speaking out over it, but I have serious doubts they won’t return after a trivial capitulation like this. What I’d love to see is engagement from people who didn’t vote, I want to see protest crowds getting bigger. I understand your frustration, but I think it’s valid to try to absorb the other news as well.

        I don’t disagree with trying to absorb other things that wasn’t what was intended sorry if it came off that way.

        I think I a piece piece of evidence is that the right wing news orgs are still talking about it after they were told to stop. Their own audiences turned against them enough that they have to keep talking about it. I forget who said it but one said that they trust the people in the white house to take care of it and his own comments dragged him for it.

        There are also some people I know personally that have genuinely been shook by this.
