The administration of Donald Trump received a new nickname after refusing to release more than half of the evidence it holds on Jeffrey Epstein.
This comes as the Epstein files scandal continues to make waves, revealing the Trump administration’s and the Department of Justice’s role in the case.
This drama was fueled by the recent appearance of Attorney General Pam Bondi before the House Judiciary Committee.
Bondi’s disastrous appearance was followed by a letter to members of the U.S. Congress claiming that the Department of Justice had released all files it was required to disclose.
However, this point has been heavily contested. According to an analysis by Channel 4 News, the investigation suggests that only about 2% of the data held by the FBI has been released. Others claim the Department of Justice withheld “more than half.”
Due to apparent mismanagement and the connections of some high-ranking members of the Trump administration with Epstein, it seems the Trump administration has earned a new nickname: “Epstein Administration.”
In an interview with ABC, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie said, “This is the Epstein administration.” This sentiment was echoed by Congresswoman Becca Balint, who repeated, “This is the Epstein administration.”
“For many of us, as we dig deeper into these files, it seems we are facing the Epstein administration. There are many people here who had ties to this man,” Balint analyzed for MS Now.
Rep. Thomas Massie: “Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these kinds of people in New York City and West Palm Beach that he would be transparent. But he’s not. He’s still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration.” pic.twitter.com/9HgaZ6DwAP
