The president’s top advisers gathered in a series of Situation Room meetings as they struggled to contain a scandal engulfing Donald Trump himself.

The White House had meeting about the Epstein files. All the big dogs were there, except Trump.
"“This is a huge problem,” [Vance} told the group."
"Vance told the group he believed all the files should be released as soon as possible."
"If the administration got out ahead of this and released everything voluntarily — including whatever material existed about the president — it would at least get credit for transparency. "
You have to ask why Trump didn't follow Vance's suggestion. There must be a reason for why he didn't.
"Even the unsubstantiated allegations and anecdotes about Trump should go out, Vance argued. They were going to surface regardless, and if the administration published them first, it would demonstrate good faith and take the oxygen out of the conspiracy theories. His arguments fell on skeptical ears,"
"
Warrington, the White House counsel, responded by laying out the available choices, without advocating any of them. Maxwell could be given a pardon, he said, or she could have her sentence reduced.
At that, several around the table spoke up to register their strong disapproval.
“Pardoning Maxwell, a trafficker of young girls, would create a huge P.R. problem,” Cheung said. He predicted that in the wake of a pardon, the Epstein accusers would be fanning out on TV, telling their stories and ripping the administration to shreds."
"Just then, The Wall Street Journal article they had been trying to kill was published online."
"detailed how Trump, and many others, had created birthday cards and letters to be assembled by Maxwell into a special birthday book for Epstein in 2003. "
"In the days before publication, Trump, in the effort to quash the story, had called News Corp.’s chief executive, Robert Thomson; News Corp.’s owner, Rupert Murdoch; and The Journal’s editor in chief, Emma Tucker. Practically shouting, the president told Tucker, who is British, that she must “hate America.” He told her he would file a lawsuit."
Why would Trump want the story quashed if it wasn't true?
Here's the file

This came up:
"
Mr Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her "pert
nipples"....Donald Trump liked flicking and sucking her
nipples until they were raw. One evening when we were showering together she showed me her
nipples."
"Page not found"
Why is this page not found? This is definitely something that should have been released.
www.justice.gov
This file has "Trump" and "nipples" in it. (not together Trump was just introduced to a 14 year old girl who was being touched by GM and JE). But does not show up on a search of "Trump nipples" either.
The facts here are: Vance suggested releasing files that had allegations against Trump.
The person who made the allegations is Sarah Ransome who had claimed she had sex videos of Trump, but then later on said she didn't have any.
People around Trump who are not Vance suggested that Trump would not be happy for such a file to be released.
The file was not released before the Epstein files were released and is not available now (the file cannot be accessed, but the first part of the file can be seen)
A search on the Epstein files for "Trump nipples" nothing comes up. But it's quite clear there's a document with "Trump" and "nipples" in the Epstein files.
So, essentially why would Trump not take on Vance's advice? Why would Trump call up people to try and get the story taken down? Why would Trump fight so hard against the Epstein files?
Actions speak louder than words.
And the actions of the MAGA who respond will basically be "Trump did nothing". But Trump did a lot, he fought against releasing a file that we cannot see even though Congress told him to release this file. That's breaking the law. Why would he break the law?
A new claim from an Epstein victim alleges the existence of secret tapes involving Donald Trump, potentially forcing his resignation. The unverified allegations have reignited debate over withheld Epstein evidence.
