Trump's investigation into Epstein ties to political foes might be 'smokescreen', Republican says

US President Donald Trump may be attempting to divert attention from his alleged ties to late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by ordering a fresh investigation into Democrats with connections to him. However, some Republicans are sounding the alarm that this could be nothing more than a "smokescreen" to prevent the full files from becoming public.

Congressman Thomas Massie, who is leading the bipartisan push for transparency on the Epstein case, believes Trump's latest move may be an attempt to muddy the waters and keep the truth hidden. Massie pointed out that despite releasing emails showing Trump was aware of Epstein's conduct, he is now claiming that there's a hoax and launching new investigations.

Massie thinks that if there are ongoing investigations in certain areas, it would prevent documents from being released, suggesting that Trump might be trying to protect his friends and donors. He urged his Republican colleagues to rethink their position and warned them that by keeping the files secret, they would be voting to "protect pedophiles" and ultimately betraying Trump's endorsement.

Massie also hinted that more than 100 House Republicans may support releasing the Epstein documents when the measure reaches the House floor for a vote this week. On the other hand, Senator John Barrasso declined to commit to holding a vote even if the bill passes in the House, casting doubt on its prospects.

The efforts by Trump and his allies have sparked concerns among Democrats, with Congressman Ro Khanna saying that the push is "not about Donald Trump" but rather about justice for the survivors of Epstein's alleged sex-trafficking ring. Khanna also encouraged Trump to meet with the victims who have survived Epstein's abuse and spoken out publicly.

The Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, dismissed allegations that Trump had ties to Epstein's abuse as "their entire game plan" being taken away. However, it remains unclear whether the Senate will follow suit in supporting a vote on releasing the Epstein documents.
 
๐Ÿค” I'm totally skeptical about this move by Trump... like, he's trying to change the subject from his own connections to Epstein, but it's not fooling anyone ๐Ÿ˜’. He just released some emails showing he knew about Epstein's shenanigans and now he's trying to cover his tracks? No way! ๐Ÿšซ And what's really going on here is that Trump is trying to protect his friends and donors, not the American people. It's just another example of him trying to silence the truth. ๐Ÿ’”
 
OMG, this is getting so juicy!! I'm literally shaking my head thinking about Trump trying to divert attention from his alleged ties to Epstein by targeting Dems instead ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ฅ Like, what's next? Covering up his own scandals with more investigations?! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Anyway, I'm totally on Team Massie here - the guy knows what he's talking about. Those 100+ House Reps who might support releasing the documents need to speak up ASAP! ๐Ÿ’ช And can we please get those Epstein victims their justice? They deserve so much better than a game of smoke and mirrors ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ’”
 
๐Ÿค” this is so messed up what's really going on here? is trump trying to save his friends or is he just trying to cover his own backside? i mean, if there are already emails showing he knew about epstein's shit why does he need a new investigation? it sounds like he's trying to deflect attention from himself and onto the democrats. but what really matters here is those survivors of epstein's abuse they deserve justice and answers not some petty politics game ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm not surprised at all with this latest move from Trump... ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Like, what's new? ๐Ÿ˜’ He's just trying to shift the focus away from his own shady connections to Epstein and keep the truth hidden. And now he's got some of his own party members in a bind, thinking they can protect their donors and buddies by keeping the documents under wraps... ๐Ÿค‘ It's like they think we're all that gullible? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ And what really gets my goat is that there are still so many people out there who don't believe the allegations about Epstein... like, come on, folks, wake up! ๐Ÿ˜ด The victims deserve justice and transparency, not some smokescreen to protect the powerful. ๐Ÿ’”
 
Ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฉ I'm so over this drama with Trump and Epstein... can't we just focus on getting justice for those survivors already? ๐Ÿค• It's like he thinks he can just shift the attention away from himself and onto the Democrats. Newsflash, Donald: hiding behind a "smokescreen" isn't gonna work here! ๐Ÿ˜’

And seriously, what's going on with all these investigations? Is Trump really trying to protect his friends who might've been involved in Epstein's abuse? ๐Ÿค” It's like he thinks we're all just blind to the obvious. I'm calling BS on this one.

I hope those House Republicans are paying attention and voting for transparency instead of covering up some shady stuff ๐Ÿ˜ก. And can we please get Trump to have a real conversation with the survivors? That's what justice looks like, not more fake investigations! ๐Ÿ’”
 
I'm telling you, this is all about cover-up ๐Ÿคฅ... I mean, Trump can't just try to change the narrative like that, right? First, he releases some emails and then suddenly there's a "hoax"? Give me a break! ๐Ÿ˜’ It smells like someone's trying to protect their own behinds. And don't even get me started on Massie's comments - if 100 House Republicans are for releasing those documents, that's a major majority ๐Ÿคฏ... something fishy is going on here.
 
๐Ÿค” This whole thing is super weird, but I think what's really going on here is that Trump is trying to keep everyone from looking at his financial records and connections to Epstein because he knows something's not clean. ๐Ÿค‘ Massie is right, this new investigation could just be a smokescreen to hide the truth. And let's be real, if 100+ House Republicans are ready to support releasing those documents, it's probably because they don't want Trump dragging them down in this mess either ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. I think what really matters here is that the survivors of Epstein's abuse deserve justice and transparency, not Trump's reputation ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ.
 
I'm not sure if this is just a smokescreen or actually something ๐Ÿค”... I mean, Trump is trying to divert attention from his alleged ties to Epstein, but at the same time, he's releasing emails that show he was aware of Epstein's conduct? That doesn't make sense to me. Is it possible that Trump genuinely wants transparency and accountability on this issue, or is he just trying to cover his tracks? I'm also not sure if the 100+ House Republicans who might support releasing the documents are actually going to do so... it seems like a pretty low bar for some of them ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. And what about the victims of Epstein's sex-trafficking ring - aren't they more important than Trump's reputation? I guess only time will tell if Trump is trying to protect his friends or genuinely want justice to be served ๐Ÿ’”.
 
I think this is super concerning ๐Ÿค•... Trump's move could be seen as a way to control the narrative and prevent the public from seeing how deep his ties really are with Epstein. It's not just about protecting himself, but also his friends and donors who might have been involved in some shady dealings. And what really worries me is that if Republicans start backing out on releasing these documents, it could be a huge blow to accountability ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. These survivors deserve justice, and Trump should be meeting with them, not using his power to silence the truth ๐Ÿ’”. It's time for us as citizens to demand more transparency and hold our leaders accountable for their actions ๐Ÿ‘Š.
 
Trump's latest move seems kinda sketchy ๐Ÿค”... like he's trying to hide something. If there are already investigations going on, why release emails and then say there's a hoax? It just looks like an attempt to keep things under wraps ๐Ÿ’ผ. And let's be real, if more than 100 Republicans might support releasing the documents, that's gotta count for something ๐Ÿค. But at the same time, some folks are saying it's all just a smokescreen... and I get why they'd think that too ๐Ÿ”ฎ.

๐Ÿคฏ I'm getting so tired of this back and forth between Democrats and Republicans about Epstein... shouldn't we be focusing on bringing justice to the victims instead of trying to hide info? ๐Ÿค• Trump's latest move just smells like a smokescreen to me... if there are really ongoing investigations, why can't the docs get released? It's just so frustrating that politicians are more concerned with covering their own backsides than doing what's right. ๐Ÿ™„
 
I'm getting really worried about Trump's motives here ๐Ÿค•. He's trying to shift the focus away from his own shady dealings with Epstein and onto the Democrats instead? It just seems like a desperate attempt to keep the truth under wraps ๐Ÿ’”. I've seen some of these investigations that are supposed to be independent, but they all seem to be heading in the same direction - protecting Trump's friends and donors ๐Ÿค‘.

And what really gets me is when Republicans say it's a "smokescreen" to prevent the files from being released. Like, come on guys! We need transparency here, not more lies ๐Ÿ™„. And the fact that some of them are saying they'd vote to protect pedophiles? That's just disgusting ๐Ÿ˜ท.

It's time for Trump and his allies to step up and face the truth about their connection to Epstein. Let's see if we can get some real change going here ๐Ÿ’ช
 
๐Ÿค” I'm just worried about how far down this rabbit hole Trump is willing to dig ๐Ÿœ... on one hand, you gotta respect Massie's balls for standing up and speaking truth to power ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ, but at the same time, can't we just get some closure on Epstein already? ๐Ÿ’€ It's been ages since that guy was arrested and now it feels like Trump is trying to sweep everything under the rug ๐Ÿงน. I mean, what's really going on here? Is this about politics or justice for the victims? ๐Ÿ˜• I wish both sides could just calm down and have a serious conversation about this instead of making it all about "smokescreens" and "hoaxes". ๐Ÿ™„
 
I'm getting major bad vibes from this ๐Ÿคฏ. Trump's trying to shift focus from his own alleged ties to Epstein by going after Dems with connections to him? Give me a break... ๐Ÿ™„ This just reeks of smoke and mirrors. Massie is spot on, if they're doing investigations now it'll keep the truth from coming out. And let's be real, 100+ House Republicans supporting releasing those documents? That's not a coincidence... ๐Ÿค‘ It's like Trump's trying to cover his own tracks and protect his friends. The fact that Barrasso isn't even committing to holding a vote is telling... ๐Ÿ‘€ This whole thing is just a mess.
