‘Things happen’
#WashingtonPost Editorial Board
Setting the record straight about our murdered colleague.
The #US govt often advances its interests by working with nasty people, & #SaudiArabia Crown Prince #MBS is one of the nastiest. It’s one thing…to reluctantly deal with him…[but] #Trump’s performance at the White House Tuesday was something else entirely: #weak, #crass & of no strategic benefit to US.
Reuters Exclusive: #Trump approval falls to lowest of his term over prices & #EpsteinFiles, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
Trump's approval rating fell to 38%, the lowest since his return to power, with Americans unhappy about his handling of the #CostOfLiving & the investigation into #Epstein.

[Helsinki flashback] #Trump contradicts #US #intelligence, says #MBS 'knew nothing' about #Khashoggi death.
Then in classic Trump fashion, Trump dismisses a reporter’s question on the #murder of #journalist #JamalKhashoggi as an attempt to "embarrass" the #SaudiArabia leader, horrifically adding:
🚨 "things happen" [um… dismemberment doesn’t just “happen”] 🚨
Trump asked the reporter where she was from, then called her "fake news."
This is MBS's first visit to the US since the 2018 killing of #journalist & Saudi critic #JamalKhashoggi in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.
#Khashoggi was killed & dismembered in Oct 2018 by Saudi agents in an operation US intelligence believed was ordered by #MBS.
Khashoggi had criticized the crown prince's policies in his #WashingtonPost columns.
He had traveled to the #SaudiArabia consulate to obtain papers to marry his fiancée, a Turkish citizen.
The President Who Cried Hoax
#Republicans went after #Epstein only when it was politically useful
By Adam Serwer
The #EpsteinFiles were the most important issue in the world, until they weren’t.
“Are you still talking about #JeffreyEpstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable,” #Trump scolded a reporter in July.

The President Who Cried Hoax
Republicans went after Epstein only when it was politically useful.Adam Serwer (The Atlantic)
Rep #EricSwalwell (D-CA), one of Trump’s most vocal critics in the #House, said Thurs that he was being targeted by the #Trump admin after news reports that he had been referred to the #DON for a potential #criminal investigation.
An accusation that Swalwell had committed #mortgage & #tax #fraud was made on Wednesday by #BillPulte, director of the #FHFA. Pulte, a Trump crony, has made similar allegations against Trump’s other perceived enemies.
I mean 🤬🤬🤬
Though #AdelitaGrijalva provided the final signature necessary to advance a vote on the #EpsteinFiles, the vote will likely not place before December. Under the rules that govern this procedural maneuver, the #House cannot act on the measure until after it “ripens” for 7 legislative days — days when #Congress is in session.
How slowly the bureaucracy moves!

Confirmation: the so-called discharge petition that would force a vote on the #EpsteinFiles has the backing of 218 members, their signatures are frozen & cannot be removed.

“I have been thinking about that,” Maxwell wrote back.
In an email from January 2019, #Epstein wrote to Wolff of #Trump: “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” #House #Democrats, citing an unnamed whistle-blower, said this week that Maxwell was preparing to formally ask Trump to commute her federal prison sentence.

…At the time #Epstein emailed Maxwell in 2011 calling #Trump the “dog that didn’t bark,” Trump was a reality television star & New York tabloid celebrity who was years away from becoming president.
…Epstein’s email from 2019, which claims #Trump “knew about the girls” & asked Maxwell “to stop,” was sent to Wolff, who had recently written a tell-all book about the president.
Wolff was also involved in a third email exchange, which began on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary. Wolff emailed #Epstein & warned him that CNN was “planning to ask #Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards.”
Epstein wrote back, “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”

House Oversight Committee Releases Jeffrey Epstein Email Correspondence, Raising Questions About White House Coverup of Epstein Files
Washington, D.C. — Today, Oversight Democrats and Ranking Member Robert Garcia released never-before-seen emails from the latest production from Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate, striking a blow against the White House’s Epstein cover-up.The Committee on Oversight and Accountability Democrats
The release of documents appears to be intended to provide #Republicans with a defense against charges that they have not released all of the government’s files on #Epstein & his longtime partner in #crime #GhislaineMaxwell — & possibly to stave off demands, including from some #House Republicans, to force the release of all of the #EpsteinFiles.

In the 2018 email #Epstein wrote to Lawrence H. Summers, the fmr #Treasury secretary & president of #Harvard University where he called #Trump “borderline insane”, Epstein also made a reference to the lawyer #AlanDershowitz writing, “dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much.” It was unclear what prompted this assessment from Epstein.

In tales from the surreal:
Just now White House press sec Karoline Leavitt appeared to confirm to reporters that Rep #LaurenBoebert met Wednesday in the #SituationRoom to discuss the #Epstein case & demands for the public release of the investigative case file.
“Doesn’t that show the level of transparency, when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress & address their concerns?” Leavitt said

Via southpaw:
Lest there be any insinuation that #Democrats spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released.

More on the #LaurenBoebert #SituationRoom meeting. Shocker, it wasn’t about the #Trump admin being transparent, but pressuring her to back down from voting to release all the #EpsteinFiles.
Trump & his admin on Wednesday ramped up a pressure campaign on congressional #Republicans who are pushing for a full release of the #DOJ’s files about the convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein, rushing to head off a #House vote on the matter.

Top ofcls met in the White House #SituationRoom on Wednesday with Rep #LaurenBoebert (R-CO) who is backing an effort to force a House vote on whether to demand the release of the files.
She was *summoned* to sit down with top #DOJ & #FBI ofcls, acc/to 2 people familiar with the matter. One of the people said the session included AG #PamBondi & FBI Dir #KashPatel.

#LaurenBoebert is one of 3 #Republican #women in the #House who have signed on to a petition aimed at forcing a vote on a bill demanding that the #DOJ release all of its investigative files on #Epstein.
If they refuse to remove their names, the petition is set later Wednesday to reach the 218 signatures needed to compel action within weeks.

Well, there ya go, Rep #AdelitaGrijalva #Democrat of #Arizona has been sworn in.
She will be the 218th signature needed to force the #EpsteinFiles release vote, as long as no #Republicans defect.

#JeffreyEpstein Alleged in Emails That #Trump Knew of His Conduct
#House #Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which #Epstein wrote that Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew far more about his abuse than he has acknowledged.
