"I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail."

"I would be surprised if we see a sentence of incarceration... [Trump] has no criminal record, it's a nonviolent crime."

"[T]here's no guarantees [Judge Merchan will not sentence Trump]."

"He could go to jail."

"I believe, if convicted, a sentence of incarceration is warranted and justified."

The judges "would likely sentence him to a term of incarceration."

"[I]t is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time."

"I think he almost definitely will receive a prison sentence... I could see Judge Merchan sentencing him to 24 months in jail."

Newly released emails reveal Epstein explicitly told associates that Trump "knew about the girls" and "spent hours at my house" with victims. Epstein called Trump "the dog that hasn't barked," suggesting Trump stayed silent about crimes he witnessed. These communications directly contradict Trump's denials and expose his administration's suspicious decision to withhold Epstein files from public release.

Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago decades ago for being a creep to female employees, proving he took action against misconduct. The victim Democrats cite, Virginia Giuffre, publicly testified she never witnessed wrongdoing by Trump. Democrats are cherry-picking documents while hiding exonerating evidence to manufacture a political hoax and distract from Trump's accomplishments.

For months, Trump has blocked the Epstein files. Newly released emails reveal he knew about Epstein's abuse and spent "hours" with a victim at Epstein's home. Epstein called Trump "the dog that hasn't barked," suggesting Trump stayed silent about crimes he witnessed. This looks like a blatant cover-up. The American people deserve transparency and truth. It's time to release the files and expose what Trump is hiding.

Democrats leaked selective Epstein emails to smear President Trump, hiding that the "unnamed victim" was Virginia Giuffre — the same woman who said Trump "couldn't have been friendlier" and never acted inappropriately. Trump expelled Epstein years ago for misconduct. Democrats are cherry-picking documents while hiding exonerating evidence to manufacture a political hoax and distract from Trump's accomplishments.
