Trump Fumes Over NYT Report Exposing His Team’s Epstein Meltdown
Early Wednesday morning, MS NOW host Joe Scarborough mentioned the [NYT] report on his show, Morning Joe. Less than an hour later, Trump attacked Scarborough on Truth Social, calling him "one of the most inaccurate detailers of truthful facts on television.""Ohhhh, that actually sort of affirms the reporting that this is something you cannot mention around the president of the United States," Scarborough added. "We just read what Maggie and Jonathan wrote about Epstein. Is that what that was?"
The Times article is a detailed look at how Trump's inner circle met in the Situation Room to handle each development regarding Epstein and the government's files on the billionaire sex offender. Shouting matches, arguments, efforts to get different officials fired, and clashing strategies are all outlined in the article, which is based on reporting from the forthcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The main thesis of the article is that Trump could not make the public forget about Epstein, no matter what he did, and he continued to prove that Wednesday morning.
[The original NYT article is linked in the OP. It's long and pulls together a few more details about things we've seen along the way, but with a much more insider feel. Bongino has a potty mouth if you don't care for that sort of language.]
