Evidence-Based Information and Analysis
Trump is using MLK files to distract from Epstein fury. It’s a grotesque move: weaponizing America’s most revered civil rights leader to deflect from questions about a child predator. Will his base fall for such transparent manipulation?
Trump releases old MLK FBI files to distract from MAGA base fury over Epstein documents. Analysis of why he’s weaponizing Martin Luther King Jr. to deflect from Jeffrey Epstein questions—and whether this desperate tactic will work.
Most Epstein files aren’t in grand jury transcripts. The names, evidence, photos, and flight logs people want? They’re held by DOJ and FBI—not sealed by a judge. So why is the administration pointing at the transcripts?
Grand jury transcripts are only a small part of the Epstein case. Key evidence—including names of abusers, seized devices, and FBI files—is not sealed by a judge and could be released now.
Calling for grand jury release sounds tough but shifts focus away from the real files. It’s a political deflection—pointing at what can’t be released (yet) to avoid releasing what already could be.
