California Governor Gavin Newsom has found yet another angle from which to attack President Donald Trump following the release of 20,000 pages of email correspondence belonging to Jeffrey Epstein.
Amid the many revelations contained in the emails was a message in which Epstein explicitly stated that Trump, who had “spent hours” at Epstein’s home with one of his victims, “knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Seizing on the news and seeing an opportunity to attack his favorite nemesis once again, Newsom’s press office posted a photo to X featuring a twist on Trump’s renovations to the West Wing colonnade. Gone is Trump’s gaudy ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ signage; in its place are the words ‘I am a pedo.’

The president neither received nor sent any of the messages contained within the latest document dump. He has also not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

In a third post, Newsom took a swipe at Trump’s claim that he didn’t really know Epstein while dismissing the DOJ’s lawsuit against California’s Proposition 50, the redistricting plan Californians voted for on Nov. 4.
“When Trump’s hand-picked hacks at DOJ can’t tell California from North Carolina, you know the lawsuit is about as credible as Trump’s ‘I don’t know Epstein’ line,” Newsom wrote. California’s lower house is known as the California State Assembly, not General.

Newsom had previously responded to the news that Trump knew about Epstein’s conduct with a query for Vice President JD Vance posted to X, attaching a screenshot of The New York Times’ article on the subject and adding, “Color me shocked. Any comment, @JDVance?”

He also called out several MAGA influencers for their hypocrisy, posting a photo of a group of Trump supporters holding binders containing some of the Epstein files.
“Anyone check on these ’influencers‘ this morning?” Newsom wrote on X. “Pretty big day for the ‘issue’ they’re most passionate about.”

Trump and Epstein were friends for over a decade during the 1990s and 2000s, with Epstein telling Trump biographer Michael Wolff, “I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.”
Their friendship had soured by Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, with Epstein writing in one 2017 email that there was “not one decent cell in [Trump’s] body.”
The disgraced financier also described the president as a “maniac” and questioned whether he was showing signs of early dementia in a number of 2018 emails.
