Trump&#8217;s SOTU speech is unlikely to move the needle on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\/post\/3mfpehhzrhk27\" target=\"_blank\">his historically abysmal disapproval ratings<\/a><\/strong>. So the attention of the American people is going to quickly return to the issues that they care most about, which Trump largely ignored in his speech. They include the economy and the high cost of living, immigration and Trump&#8217;s ICE thugs terrorizing them and their neighbors, and the horrific crimes committed by Trump and his confederates in association with Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68251\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To the dismay of Trump and his toadies, the Epstein scandal is not going to go away. Particularly if they keep trying to cover it up and\/or sweep it under the rug. But that won&#8217;t stop them from trying. Leading the charge from Congress is the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. On Wednesday morning he took up his usual post on Fox News to disseminate his partisan propaganda. And typically, he lied to Fox host Harris Faulkner about the key participants in the Epstein affair, and whether he intended to interview any Republicans.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The truth of the matter is that about 85% of the people that were prominent who were involved with Epstein are, you know, Democrats. So we&#8217;re gonna continue to question whoever they are regardless of political party or political identification, but the fact of the matter is the majority of the people were Democrats.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Comer: I\u2019m trying to be nonpartisan in this investigation\u2026 85% of the people involved with Epstein are Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sGQfV94tKF\">pic.twitter.com\/sGQfV94tKF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/2026695912161161241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>That is about as brazen a lie as he could possibly have manufactured. While there certainly are some Democrats who associated with Epstein, the vast majority of his creepy comrades, as exposed in the Trump-Epstein files and elsewhere, were Republicans or their GOP supporters. Here&#8217;s a list of the best known people associated with Epstein&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>REPUBLICANS:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Donald J. Trump<\/li>\n<li>Melania Trump<\/li>\n<li>Elon Musk<\/li>\n<li>Alan Dershowitz<\/li>\n<li>Howard Lutnick<\/li>\n<li>Kevin Warsh<\/li>\n<li>Steve Bannon<\/li>\n<li>Tom Barrack<\/li>\n<li>Peter Thiel<\/li>\n<li><strong>DEMOCRATS:<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Bill Clinton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite this evidence that many more Republicans have fraternized with Epstein, Comer and his committee haven&#8217;t called a single one of them testify. He has, however, called Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have both agreed to be interviewed. What&#8217;s more, the Clintons have been forthright in their demands that all of the Trump-Epstein files be released. While Trump and Comer and the rest of the Republican pedophile protectors continue to obstruct the release.<\/p>\n<p>If Comer were telling the truth, that 85% of those involved with Epstein were Democrats (he isn&#8217;t), then wouldn&#8217;t he and Trump and the Republicans have more incentive to release all of the files unredacted? Why are Democrats so fervently advocating for full transparency, while Republicans are opposed to it? What are they afraid of?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it has something to do with all of the evidence that Trump&#8217;s relationship with Epstein included his participation in criminal activities. A new report reveals that Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department is actively suppressing such evidence. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/02\/24\/nx-s1-5723968\/epstein-files-trump-accusation-maxwell\" target=\"_blank\">According to NPR<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrats have been adamant that the Trump-Epstein files must be released. They are willing to let the chips fall where they may. But Republicans are determined to prevent that from happening. Partisans like Comer are abusing their power to shield Trump from accountability. And he isn&#8217;t shy about admitting it. He told Fox News that <em>&#8220;Look, I support the president. I&#8217;m gonna do whatever the president wants.&#8221;<\/em> Which doesn&#8217;t seem like something someone in charge of <em>&#8220;Oversight&#8221;<\/em> should be saying or doing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mfmsjhjer22l\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiguknrmfncwubiqfgpauqax7ujt6aiazg5bbo3fel4p4pkqsl57sq\">\n<p lang=\"en\">James Comer is the MAGA GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee.
