Donald refused to meet the Epstein victims in the Oval Office because he was probably scared to death some of them would start pointing at him and yelling, “HE’S THE ONE WHO DID IT!”
Trump told MTG the Epstein Victims didn't "merit the honour" of meeting him in the Oval.
That's as clear of a confession as we are likely to get from the dude.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Before and after DOJ realized they left Trump’s name in an Epstein document:
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

The Trump Administration rolled back Biden-era efforts to hold gun dealers accountable and reassigned roughly 80% of ATF agents to carry out immigration operations.
Despite this, states still have many tools at their disposal to reduce gun trafficking and keep communities safe.
