Donald Trump’s accusations that the Democrats organized a conspiracy to cover up the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein have finally come back to bite him. Epstein died in a jail cell in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, apparently by suicide. Immediately after, Trump called for “a full investigation” and accused Democrats of keeping the files of the case secret because they would expose the involvement of powerful Democrats in Epstein’s crimes.
In July, the Trump administration reversed course and said they would not open all the files.
To many Trump supporters, it appears that Trump has joined the conspiracy to cover up the crimes of powerful sexual abusers linked to Epstein—and Trump himself may be implicated as well.
In all likelihood, we will never know exactly what is in those files. But even without them, this case has already revealed that rich and powerful people sexually abused dozens of girls, some as young as 14. Witnesses have already reported that Epstein raped them repeatedly and tracked their whereabouts at all times. Others said that while still underage, Epstein pushed them to have sex with “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents … and other world leaders.”
Trump was quoted in New York magazine saying about Epstein: “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side….” On July 17, the Wall Street Journal reported that Epstein had a letter and sketch of a naked woman signed by Donald Trump. The letter concluded, “may every day be another wonderful secret.” And of course, Trump has already been found guilty of sexual abuse and was caught on tape bragging about grabbing women.
Whatever is in these files, what’s already come out has shined a light on a substantial portion of the ruling class and their hangers-on—Democrats and Republicans alike. Their wealth and privilege rests on treating human beings like objects at their disposal, to be used to increase their wealth and power. Who can be surprised that so many of them also treat young women like disposable playthings?
