The Spin

Democratic narrative

While Trump and the GOP work to obscure Epstein's ties to the powerful, Democrats are driving a cross-party push for transparency. Recently elected Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva could be the tie-breaking vote to release Epstein's files, but House Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying her swearing-in to thwart this. More Republicans should be like Thomas Massie, who puts justice over politics.

Republican narrative

While Democrats accuse Republicans of hiding Epstein's connections, their own politicization of the case reveals equal gamesmanship. They failed to release files during their control of Congress and the White House, only now demanding transparency to target Trump, despite survivors denying his involvement. Republicans, like House Oversight Chairman James Comer, released 34,000 pages, focusing on justice, not politics.

Establishment-critical narrative

Neither party can be trusted with Epstein's secrets. Between this Oversight Committee release and James O'Keefe's recent video of a DOJ investigator claiming Epstein was a CIA informant, Trump's government and Congress are still hiding the bigger story. Whether it's Musk and Trump implicated on the right or others on the left, the government is clearly obfuscating to keep Americans away from whatever the whole truth is.
