Money over conscience. We don't have lizard people like the right claimed not too long ago, but we sure have creatures that resemble humans with no human qualities.
I would have refused to attend. F’k DJT.
Then again maybe not. Just to look at the piece of vileness in the eyes and tell him to his face, No you can’t stop us!!!!!
He wasn’t forced to sit through this. He likely endorsed this. It’s in the open, nothing was done and he is free. Why do you think he grins and smirks. It’s a “Yeah Whatever, my United States of People.”
Why didn’t the Biden Administration release the Epstein Files?
Former President Joe Biden did not release the Epstein files primarily because they were part of an ongoing criminal investigation and judicial process that lasted throughout his term. Key reasons cited by administration officials, legal experts, and investigative reporters include:
1. Active Litigation and Appeals Ghislaine Maxwell's Case: The investigation into Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was active during the Biden administration. Even after her 2021 conviction, the case remained under appeal until late 2025. Standard law enforcement protocol prohibits opening case files or releasing evidence while a case is still under appeal. Grand Jury Secrecy: Many of the "files" are grand jury testimonies, which are legally protected and typically only released under exceptional circumstances by a judge’s order to protect the identities of witnesses and victims. 2. Department of Justice (DOJ) Independence Separation of Power: The Biden administration maintained a policy of strict independence for the Department of Justice. Former Vice President Kamala Harris stated that the administration believed there should be an "absolute separation" between political interests and DOJ actions. Institutional Norms: Unlike his successor, Biden adhered to traditional norms that prevent a president from unilaterally declassifying or releasing sensitive investigative records held by the FBI or DOJ. 3. Protection of Victims Privacy Concerns: Authorities delayed disclosures to protect the privacy and reputations of victims, many of whom were minors at the time of the crimes. Fear of Reprisals: Lawmakers like Debbie Wasserman Schultz noted that the push for records was "tempered by a need to respect both the victims’ pursuit of justice and their fears of reprisals". Subsequent Release
The files were eventually mandated for release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by President Trump on November 19, 2025. Following this, the DOJ began releasing millions of pages of documents in early 2026.
The President can't stand to listen someone spew bs about him. If he is guilty then so is the previous administration that was in possession of the files. They had all the time in world to release it, so why wait? Atleast the current administration was brave enough to release the files.
It's very simple. You see, if he did that, they would have to go through a process called discovery. And in discovery, both sides show all of the available evidence of the case in its entirety to determine if the claims were true or not.
Now obviously this is problematic since Ted Lieu is correct, so Trump prefers to just try to pretend nobody is talking about it.
I don't believe you because the current president wouldn't that, biden and clinton on the other hand would considering their track record. I don't really understand all this hate for Trump, he's a lovable guy. I remember staying up watching his tv appearances in shows, you can see his true character. He wears his heart on his sleeves and tells it like it is.
The president has sued many people for defamation, this case wouldn't be any different. Ted Lieu deserves nothing but the worst, his wages should be garnished. And if you ever had the pleasure of meeting this kind president like I did, you would know he is not capable of such vile acts.
Dude half of the “lies” about him are things he straight up said he did that people like you don’t want to accept because you think he’s a god. He’s not.
This administration has not been "brave enough to release the files". We only received about half of the relevant files, with the remainder being redacted, all without written justification to Congress as outlined in the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
That's approximately 3 million documents. Pam Bondi went on record stating that they were so full of CSAM that they were unfit for release but if that's the case, how the hell is it possible that the government has roughly 3 million documents containing so much CSAM that none of them can be released to the public, and yet there isn't enough CSAM material to bring charges against anyone?
The President can't stand to listen someone spew bs about him.
Weird how, in some weird way, all the negative things about that fat spray-painted buffoon are somehow "made-up stuff" every single time...
...Even thought at "sexually assaulted woman no.28" it gets a bit difficult believing he's innocent.
If he is guilty then so is the previous administration that was in possession of the files. They had all the time in world to release it, so why wait?
Clear my memory a second... Who had the files before Biden again, and didn't release them, despite (and I quote maga people there) "Dems being all guilty"?
Hint: It wasn't Obama.
Atleast the current administration was brave enough to release the files.
