The Spin

Democratic narrative

Trump's sudden flip on the Epstein files is a calculated political maneuver designed to obstruct justice. His refusal to rescind orders for investigations into political enemies reveals the real agenda. The Justice Department will conveniently claim it can't release documents due to ongoing investigations.

Republican narrative

Trump's call to release Epstein files demonstrates complete transparency and confidence in having nothing to hide. The focus should shift to investigating Democrat operatives who had actual relationships with Epstein. This entire controversy is a manufactured distraction from Republican success.

Narrative C

The push to unseal Epstein's files isn't a crusade against Donald Trump — it's about delivering justice for survivors and holding all powerful individuals accountable. The effort is bipartisan and rooted in transparency, not partisanship, for the sake of accountability.

Anti-Trump narrative

Trump reversed course on the Epstein files only because he knew the momentum behind their release was unstoppable. For the first time, he has bent to MAGA instead of defining it. This shift marks a loosening of the GOP — it is a powerful moment showing that the party may not always follow his leadership.

There's a 0.6% chance that Ghislaine Maxwell will give oral testimony on the Epstein Files or Epstein's relationship with Trump in a hearing at the U.S. Congress before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
