For months now, the Trump administration promised transparency regarding the Jeffery Epstein case. This was one of his major talking points on his campaign, building off this point to push across the promise of being “the most transparent administration in history.”
Trump, often standing behind the declaration of his excellent physical and cognitive health, has apparently discovered a new form of cardio: running away from questions. Even though he promised transparency regarding the Epstein files, he continues to either sharply change the direction of conversation when asked about them or even sometimes react in a hostile manner. Something about this topic seems to strike a nerve. He can’t seem to downplay it enough for his own satisfaction.
The answer seems pretty evident… The skeletons in the closet run deep.
The administration claims that there are legitimate reasons that a bulk of the records can’t simply be put in reach of the public. This is true, as criminal investigations that involve victims and sensitive information have safeguards that protect both the privacy of all victims and witnesses and cannot, for good reason, be made public for everyone to see.
However, there is another perfectly reasonable question: If some information can’t be made public, why not explain what can or cannot be released?
Instead, this administration has repeatedly led Americans on by claims such as Pam Bondi’s stating that the Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now to review,” leading to countless questions and a loss of trust regarding the issue.
Trump owes the American people a little taste of the truth, as he should strive to lie up to his campaign problems of being the “most transparent administration in history.” Let’s see how he plans to play one of the first tests of his campaign promises.
