Amidst growing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump has repeatedly dodged questions about his relationship with the deceased sex offender. Instead of addressing accusations, Trump has consistently shifted blame to former President Bill Clinton, highlighting Clinton's own connections to Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice, met with the Deputy Attorney General for a second time, receiving limited immunity in exchange for information. Her lawyer stated that she discussed "100 different people" during the interview. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, claiming he never visited Epstein's infamous island and never wrote him a birthday greeting, while simultaneously asserting that the media is focused on "conspiracy theories". Meanwhile, a California Democrat called Trump's administration "the most corrupt in history", linking the Epstein scandal to broader allegations of corruption. The ongoing situation has led to numerous news reports, including those detailing a birthday book containing messages from both Trump and Clinton to Epstein, further fueling the controversy. Additionally, Ghislaine Maxwell is appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court, claiming that a previous plea agreement shielded her from prosecution.
