On Sunday night, President Donald Trump turned the tables on the Democrats, who spent four years under Joe Biden doing nothing about the Epstein files, by calling for them to be released.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Now the liberal media is struggling to come to grips with this development, as this completely blows up the narrative they’ve been pushing. On CNN Monday morning, John Berman pushed the narrative that Trump’s actions signal a waning influence over the GOP.
Republican strategist Melik Abdul didn’t buy that argument one bit.
“I think what the frustration that Donald Trump and many people — even like me — who have been critical of Donald Trump at times — we realize that this is an effort — this whole Epstein effort is an effort to really prosecute Donald Trump in the court of public opinion,” Abdul stated bluntly.
He continued dismantling the narrative by pointing out an inconvenient truth that CNN clearly didn’t want to hear: “There is not a single shred of evidence that links Donald Trump to a single crime. Not a victim, not a court case links Donald Trump to a crime. And I know that the media itself is aware of that, but the more you keep talking about it over and over again, linking Donald Trump to something potentially nefarious, that actually gets the news cycle going.”
He added, “But everyone knows that there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime, but I am glad that he ended up in this same space.”
Christine Quinn, president and CEO of WIN and former New York City Council speaker, attempted to deflect. “This isn’t about Donald Trump. We don’t know what’s in those files. He’s created the belief that there is something about him in there because he won’t release them,” she insisted before trying to pivot.
