Over the weekend, Trump reignited controversy by demanding the Washington Commanders return to their old “Redskins” name, threatening to block stadium deals if they refused.
Shortly after, he shared a deepfake video showing Barack Obama being arrested and jailed — an image that critics have called dangerous and misleading.
Joe Walsh, a former Republican rival, posted that Trump is “scared to death” of the Epstein files, linking the distraction to political fear.
The Justice Department recently announced that it would not release further Epstein records, citing the absence of a so-called client list, a claim doubted by some of Trump’s base.
This reversal comes after earlier promises by Trump’s administration to unseal all documents tied to Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 under suspicious circumstances.
Reverend Al Sharpton labelled the release of 230,000 Martin Luther King Jr. files a desperate ploy to shift attention from the Epstein uproar.
Senator Adam Schiff echoed that view, calling Trump’s criminal accusations against him “convenient distractions” from the widening scandal.
Trump also lashed out at the judge in the Harvard funds case, labelling her a “total disaster” and attacking her handling of the university’s legal standoff with the federal government.
He touched on unrelated cases including that of Bryan Kohberger, the Idaho killer, which observers say furthers the narrative of strategic redirection.
Trump also sued the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch for libel over a report linking him to Epstein’s birthday in 2003, calling the story “completely fabricated.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump, saying he’s delivered full transparency and answered questions openly on the issue.
Polls now show a slide in Trump’s approval ratings, particularly on immigration, with only 21% of Hispanic Americans supporting his approach.
