Video of Donald Trump telling a reporter, “quiet, piggy,” when she requested concerning the Epstein recordsdata has gone viral.
According to a tweet from CBS News’ Jennifer Jacobs, the aforementioned reporter, who’s a lady, works for Bloomberg. Trump stated,” Quiet, quiet piggy,” and wagged his finger in the reporter’s face when she apparently “asked why, if there’s nothing incriminating in the files, he’s acting like there is,” per Jacobs’ tweet.
“I know nothing about that,” the president then reportedly stated, per The Hill, including, “Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years.”
The administration has been in the recent seat for months over its dealing with of the Epstein recordsdata and has been preventing in opposition to releasing them. However, on Sunday, following his interplay with the Bloomberg reporter, Trump modified his tune and inspired the House Republicans to vote to launch the recordsdata.
“We have nothing to hide,” he wrote on Truth Social, per Newsweek, adding that “it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax.” The following day, in the Oval Office, he said he would sign the legislation to release the files.
“We’ll give them everything. Sure. I would let them, let the Senate look at it, let anybody look at it, but don’t talk about it too much because honestly, I don’t want to take it away from us. It’s really a Democrat problem. The Democrats were Epstein’s friends, all of them, and it’s a hoax,” Trump stated.
On Tuesday, the House signed off on the Epstein Files Transparency Act; now, the Senate should vote earlier than the laws strikes on to the president’s desk.
For months, Trump has denied having any connection to Epstein’s alleged intercourse trafficking ring and maintains that the pair stopped being pals in the early 2000s.
In September, the House Oversight Committee launched some pages from Epstein’s fiftieth “birthday book,” from 2003, which included sexual jokes, pictures, and tales, in addition to disturbing drawings of Epstein and messages to the late financier from Trump.
