If this is our government's position, then why not release ALL THE FILES?
There is an overwhelming amount of evidence being ignored here, including affidavits signed as sworn testimony under oath by the victims and pictures not yet released.
When are we going to start believing the victims?

I wrote about Tulsi Gabbard and her endless pro-Trump sycophantic U-turns on the 2020 election, on Iran, and on Venezuela.
Is Tulsi Gabbard the Most Shameless, Desperate Member of the Trump Cabinet?
The former Democratic congresswoman turned director of national intelligence is willing to U-turn on the 2020 election and war with Venezuela and Iran just to appease her boss and keep her job.

Wonder why?
Howard Lutnick used to be a fixture on the Sunday shows. He did more TV appearances in 2025 than anyone in the Trump admin other than Stephen Miller. But since the last Epstein drop, Lutnick has been hiding from the press.
