President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak next week at the “first-of-its-kind” RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas, and one ex-Trump administration official is making sure attendees get a truck-sized reminder of one of the president’s biggest scandals.
Dubbed a “Trump-a-palooza” by RNC Chairman Joe Gruters, the event lists Vice President JD Vance, first lady Melania Trump and Treasury Secretary Howard Lutnick as potential speakers, among countless others.
While not on the list, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein also plan to be there, alongside a “Trump-Epstein Bookmobile” that contains “every single publicly available page of the largest sex-trafficking investigation in American history.”
“If the GOP wants this week to be all about Trump, then let’s have the convention attendees see for themselves the scandal that epitomizes his corruption,” wrote Miles Taylor, a former Homeland Security senior official under the first Trump administration, in a report published on his Substack Monday.
“And let’s make sure they hear from the survivors of Trump-Epstein abuse, who will be flying into Dallas to be there.”
The Epstein scandal has proven to be one of the most persistent liabilities of Trump’s second term, resurfacing repeatedly since mid-2025 despite the White House’s efforts to move past it. The scandal has largely been overshadowed in recent months by the president’s deeply unpopular war against Iran, which a majority of Americans believe was launched in part to “distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal,” per Data for Progress.
“The convention is already shaping up to be a bizarre symbol of cultish loyalty to one man. Trump insisted upon the two-day pep rally, even though GOP candidates are worried about associating with him, given his historically weak poll numbers,” Taylor wrote.
“The whole event apparently exists to celebrate him, to tell the stories he wants to tell, and to paper over his misconduct with confetti. Well, the president can count on one thing next week: there will be paper. We’re going to make sure of it.”
