During a MS NOW segment on the missing Jeffrey Epstein files documentsthat have cast a larger and growing cloud over Donald Trump’s ties to the convicted sex trafficker, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche became a central figure of discussion.
At the center of the latest revelation over what is, and isn’t, in the Epstein files, are multiple interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago when she was approximately 13 that are nowhere to be found despite being listed on an evidence log provided to the attorneys representing Ghislaine Maxwell.
On “Morning Joe,” co-host Willie Geist singled out the pursuit of Hillary Clinton by Republicans for her “tangential” ties to Epstein when the missing documents should be a more pressing issue.
“Hillary Clinton’s name, yes, is in the Epstein files hundreds of times because Jeffrey Epstein clipped articles about the 2016 election and would send them to friends, talked in one instance, told a friend he would have no luck setting up a meeting with Hillary Clinton because he didn’t have a relationship with her,” Geist reported.
Co-host Joe Scarborough remarked, “She’s being deposed today while the Justice Department clearly, clearly got caught in a cover-up by NPR, clearly got caught in a cover-up as reported by The New York Times, as reported by Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. And again, it’s just a farce. The whole thing is a farce.”
Calling the Clinton meeting a “sham,“ Scarborough observed, “And the fact that Todd Blanche telling people to look for a certain sort of files that now have disappeared, now have not been released with the rest of the Epstein files — this whole thing looks like such a cover-up.”
“And I will just say what we’ve been saying for 6 to 9 months now: If they have nothing to worry about, they should have released all the documents nine months ago. This story would have been over eight months ago, but they keep dragging it out,” he remarked.
Co-host Jonathan Lemire agreed and added, “The Department of Justice’s claim of impartially handling the Epstein matter is undermined by the fact that the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington, there’s a giant banner with Donald Trump’s face on it. That’s true, right there on the main justice. And they are acting like it, as you said, Joe.”
