The Trump Administration’s desperate and unending attempts to distract from the infamous Epstein Files scandal have turned out to be nothing short of not just a massive failure, but a MASSIVE backfire.
As Donald Trump has pulled every stunt in his power to pull the American public’s attention away from the notorious scandal and, more specifically, his past involvement with the infamous child predator, one of his own administration officials has now gone public with a deeply disturbing new claim about a past visit he made to Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, going on to call the disgraced and deceased child rapist and former Trump pal “the greatest blackmailer ever.”
Jeffrey Epstein famously died in 2019, allegedly by suicide in his jail cell, where he was awaiting trial on a slew of child sex-trafficking charges and faced numerous allegations of a wide-reaching blackmail ring that targeted countless powerful public figures. The disgraced financier was first charged and convicted on a litany of sex crimes in 2008, but received his infamous “Sweetheart Deal” from Alexander Acosta, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time. The FBI had identified no less than FORTY potential minor victims of Epstein, yet the banker was allowed to plead down to one single charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Acosta, who would go on to serve as Labor Secretary under Donald Trump’s 2019 presidential term, oversaw that deal in 2008. He claimed to have been told that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and he should “leave it alone” as the entire matter was “above his pay grade.”
Eventually, his involvement in that infamous Epstein Sweetheart Deal would catch the public’s renewed attention and ultimately lead to his resignation from the Trump Administration.
Now, the Trump Admin’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has bombed the American public with a new round of sickeningly unsettling details regarding a visit he once made to Epstein’s Manhattan mansion.
Epstein’s use of massages to ply and groom young girls has been a repeated topic amongst Epstein’s victims as they’ve publicly spoken out over the years.
In a bombshell new video interview with the New York Post that went public today, Lutnick describes his immediate shock upon entering Epstein’s home back in 2005.
“I say to him, ‘massage table in the middle of your house? How often do you have a massage?'” Lutnick recalled in the new interview. “And he says, ‘every day.’ And then he gets, like, weirdly close to me, and he says, ‘and the right kind of massage.'”
“That’s what his [modus operandi] was,” the Trump Administration official goes on to explain. “get a massage, get a massage, and what happened in that massage room, I assume, was on video.”
“This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. Blackmailed people, that’s how he had money.”
Both of Donald Trump’s administrations have been riddled with individuals, including himself, who have deep, close ties to the infamous child rapist and sex-trafficker.
Donald’s former Attorney General, Bill Barr, faced outcries for recusal over his involvement in the Epstein investigation during Trump’s first presidential term, as Barr’s former law firm had represented Epstein. Even further, Bill Barr’s father, Donald Barr, once served as the headmaster of Dalton School, where he gave a 21-year-old Jeffrey Epstein a teaching job, despite the fact that Epstein had no college degree or any form of certification or qualifications for the position.
Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former White House chief strategist and staunch MAGA loyalist to this day, had personally met with Epstein multiple times and even recorded 15 hours of footage with Epstein just prior to his death in a Manhattan jail cell — all of which still has yet to be released.
