The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Trump's frustration is understandable — Democrats are exploiting this manufactured controversy to distract from his administration's achievements. The Justice Department already investigated thoroughly and found no credible evidence of a client list or cover-up. Republicans falling for this obvious political trap are doing Democrats' work and undermining their own president's success.
Democratic narrative
Trump's defensive reaction suggests he's hiding something important about his past relationship with Epstein. His administration promised transparency during the campaign but now refuses to release files that could reveal uncomfortable truths. The American people deserve to know what's in those documents, especially given Epstein's connections to powerful figures.
