Furious epstein victims slam trump for delaying release of bombshell files

WARNING, DISTRESSING CONTENT: MANY BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP HAS DELIBERATELY AVOIDED TRANSPARENCY AROUND JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S FILES BECAUSE OF HIS TIES TO THE CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER 13:51, 29

Jan 2025Updated 13:56, 29 Jan 2025 Donald Trump is facing growing anger from victims of Jeffrey Epstein after so far failing to release documents relating to Prince Andrew's paedophile

pal's global trafficking network. Last week, the president followed through on his pledge to declassify files on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin

Luther King Jr. But the sex offender's victims accuse the former president of prioritising long-past historical events over uncovering the truth about Epstein's extensive crimes

and connections to powerful figures. Many believe Trump has deliberately avoided transparency on the late financer's files because of his ties to the convicted sex offender. They

include their shared social circles in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which also contained Prince Andrew. All three men were photographed together at a party, moving in the same elite

circles. One infamous photograph from 2000 shows the trio attending a party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida alongside Melania Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's madam

who is now serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in his trafficking operation. "Trump, Epstein, and Andrew were part of the same world," one of Epstein's victims told

the Mirror. "They have been seen socialising together, laughing together, and now Trump is silent about exposing the truth. It's no surprise he doesn't want to release these

files, they could contain things he doesn't want the world to see." Article continues below The Duke of York has faced his own reckoning in connection to Epstein. In 2022, he

settled a lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, for a reported £12 million. Giuffre claimed Epstein trafficked her to Andrew for sex on multiple

occasions, allegations the royal has consistently denied. The settlement included no admission of guilt but effectively removed Andrew from public royal duties. The trio's association

has fueled suspicions that the Epstein files - if ever made public - could implicate a vast network of wealthy and powerful individuals, potentially including Trump himself. During his White

House campaign, Trump vowed to expose the full extent of Epstein's crimes and those who enabled them. Yet, since coming to power, he has remained silent despite leaving victims to

question whether Trump ever intended to deliver on his promise. Trump's previous praise for Epstein added fuel to the fire. In a 2002 interview with New York Magazine, Trump described

him as a "terrific guy," adding, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Although Trump has since

distanced himself from Epstein, claiming their relationship soured in the early 2000s over a property dispute, victims remain unconvinced. "He talks about declassifying JFK files like

it's some heroic act, but when it comes to Epstein, he's been completely silent," said a now 36-year-old victim of Epstein. "Why? Because he doesn't want us to know

what's in them." Trump's recent announcement that he will declassify files on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations has only intensified criticism. The mother-of-two, who was

abused by Epstein as a teenager, continued: "He's willing to dig up 60-year-old conspiracies while letting Epstein's us twist in the wind. "The truth is, the Epstein

files would reveal crimes and complicity in real time and Trump has no interest in letting that happen." Legal experts suggest Trump's reluctance to release the Epstein files could

stem from the potential fallout. The documents, which include flight logs, correspondence, and sealed testimonies, could implicate dozens of high-profile individuals across politics,

business, and entertainment. Many of them are understood to be part of Trump's social and financial circles during the height of his friendship with Epstein. While appearing on Lex

Fridman's US podcast in September, the host accused the president of "hesitating" to reveal who had previously visited the island. "There's a moment where you had

some hesitation about Epstein releasing some of the documents on Epstein. Why the hesitation?" Fridman asked. Trump replied: "I don't think I had... I mean, I'm not

involved. I never went to his island, fortunately. "But a lot of people did." The host then asked: "Why do you think so many smart, powerful people allowed him to get so

close?" Trump responded: "He was a good salesman, a hailing, hardy guy, and he had some nice assets that he'd throw around like islands. "But a lot of big people went to

that island. But fortunately, I was not one of them." Fridman said: "It's just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been

made public." Trump replied: "Yeah, it's very interesting, isn't it? It probably will be, by the way. I'd certainly take a look at it. He then added: "But yeah,

I'd be inclined to do the Epstein." Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, left behind a web of unanswered

questions. His death officially ruled a suicide, has been widely questioned, with many believing it was part of a larger conspiracy to prevent him from appearing in court. Article continues
