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.”

    Hypocracy on display. Trump spent 4 years demanding the Democrats release the files, scoring political points on the right. Now it’s projection all over again.

    I’m sure there are several people in the Democratic party who were part of this. That does not matter. bad is bad. I don’t care if you otherwise appear to have similar values to me.
