Trump’s Vile Take on Teenager’s Rape Goes Viral as Epstein Woes Deepen

https://www.thedailybeast.com/president-donald-trumps-vile-take-on-teenagers-rape-goes-viral-as-his-jeffrey-epstein-woes-deepen/?08092025

President Donald Trump’s shocking defense of a champion boxer who raped a teenage girl has resurfaced as the president faces intense scrutiny of his relationship with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In a 1992 clip from Late Night with David Letterman being circulated online, the future president tells the show’s host that he doesn’t think Mike Tyson ought to have been sentenced to six years in jail for the rape of beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington, who was just 18 years old at the time.

“It’s ridiculous,” Trump says, referencing the fact the crime took place late at night after Washington had been “dancing” for Tyson.

Trump then suggested that a more fitting punishment would have been for the boxer to serve less time and pay monetary restitution to “rape victims” in general.

Here’s a Look at What the FBI’s Epstein Files Would Reveal – Bloomberg

An index from an eight-year-old FOIA lawsuit shows that the bureau is withholding bank and phone records, photographs, communications with foreign government agencies and other revealing material related to its 2006 investigation.

Welcome back to FOIA Files! Another week, another deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein saga that has engulfed the Trump administration. We know that the Justice Department and FBI amassed more than 300 gigabytes of data during the epic two-month search for all of the government’s documents on the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. We know that the DOJ and FBI concluded in July that further disclosure of the Epstein files would not be “appropriate or warranted.” What we don’t know is what, exactly, is in the files. It turns out, some clues are buried in an under-the-radar, eight-year-old Freedom of Information Act case. I’ll explain. If you’re not already getting FOIA Files in your inbox, sign up here…

Lawsuit seeks justice department and FBI communications about Epstein investigation | Trump administration | The Guardian

An advocacy group sued the US justice department and the FBI on Friday for records detailing their handling of the sex-trafficking investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The legal organization Democracy Forward is seeking records related to senior administration officials’ communication about Epstein documents and any regarding correspondence between Epstein and Donald Trump.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington DC appears to be the first of its kind. The group says it submitted requests under the Freedom of Information Act (Foia) for the records related to communications about the case in late July that have not yet been fulfilled…

Trump’s Epstein files dilemma: Why MAGA loyalists are losing faith

On Wednesday night, five top Trump officials—Vice President J.D. Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel—reportedly planned to meet at the Vance residence to discuss the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. That meeting was ultimately rescheduled, and according to CNN, Trump advisers are hopeful that the MAGA base’s furor over the administration’s botched handling of Epstein is dissipating.

That remains to be seen: Thus far, Epstein has been the rare subject where Trump-friendly commentators in alternative media do not automatically take the president’s side. Joe Rogan, Matt Walsh, Tim Pool, Andrew Schulz, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others have all criticized the administration’s approach….

The long-running scandal surrounding the disgraced late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein broadened on Tuesday after the New York Times published a trove of previously unseen letters to Epstein from numerous powerful figures as well as unseen photographs from inside his Manhattan mansion.

The letters, written to Epstein by a number of high-profile individuals, were reportedly compiled as a birthday gift for Epstein’s 63rd birthday in 2016. Their publication comes amid intense speculation around Donald Trump’s ties to Epstein, who was found dead in a New York jail in 2019 and had long cultivated a celebrity social circle of the rich and powerful.

In one letter, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak and his wife wrote “there is no limit to your curiosity.”…

Leader Schumer Calls On FBI To Immediately Launch A Counterintelligence Threat Assessment Into The National Security Risks Posed By Donald Trump’s Potential Connection To The Epstein Files And Ensure Foreign Adversaries Cannot Leverage The Files Against Our Government.

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today spoke on the Senate floor on the utter lack of transparency from the Trump administration in regards to the Epstein files, and called on the FBI to conduct a counterintelligence threat assessment to ensure that foreign governments don’t exploit this situation. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here:

The more time passes, the less we all know about the truth behind Trump’s relationship with the late financier and predator.

Donald Trump promised he would release the Epstein files while he was on the campaign trail. He made that promise, and he has yet to do it.

Speaker Johnson quite literally preferred to shut Congress down early and send everyone home on an Epstein recess rather than risking a vote on the Epstein files to take place.

Americans are right to be angry over the lack of transparency…
