Why has President Donald Trump tried to thwart the release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents?
Was Trump in Epstein’s inner circle? Nope, not at all. Were Trump’s people in Epstein’s inner circle? A few of them, on the periphery, appear to have been. There’s Tom Barrack, the ambassador to Turkey and the former CEO of Colony Capital, who regularly exchanged emails with Epstein.
Here, citizen journalist George Webb says the dustup has to do with friends of Trump — as well as a few enemies of Trump — who were in Epstein’s orbit. That includes the salacious journalist Michael Wolff, as well as Steve Bannon. Wolff counseled Epstein on how to escape or avoid legal complications.
At the core of Trump’s fears: Dirty rumors involving his wife Melania Trump and whether Epstein had any involvement with her.
