“The White House is not denying that @realDonaldTrump’s name appears in the Epstein files, an official tells me. That fact is included in briefing binders that have been shared with influencers, the official said,” Reuters’ White House correspondent Jeff Mason reports, copied verbatim here to not mince the wording of the non-denial coupled with the pretty fucking daring assertion that the infamous February dancing incident’s materials included such a limited hangout.
That Potemkin disclosure – in which the influencers were made to look like complete assholes by the White House for walking out with reams of already public info – was a shitshow in MAGA world and it set up the powder keg that’s exploding on Team Orange right now. Cannot be certain right now if that specific detail is true or not. Maybe it is, but if not holy fuck this would be an indicator of like Chernobyl-level desperation. Telling a reporter “we gave our dipshit Twitter influencers documents conceding that Trump’s name appears in multiple government files on Jeffrey Epstein” while hoping that DC Draino, Scott Presler, that Libs of TikTok shitbag, and the other ones who were there that day to play along with it months AFTER they got played would be… entertaining to say the least.
