The Democrats timed this bombshell perfectly – now there are signs the White House is panicking

In addition to summoning Boebert (and calling her, according to The New York Times), US President Donald Trump made a last-ditch plea, or threat, by posting to his Truth Social page that “only a very bad, or stupid” Republican would help the Democrats by joining the “Epstein hoax” bandwagon. As it stands, the petition has enough signatures, having been signed by the House’s newest member, Democrat Adelita Grijalva, as her first item of business. But if any Republicans were to withdraw their name, it would fail. Practically, the petition carries no weight unless it is also supported by the Senate and agreed to by Trump, which won’t happen. But it is evident the White House does not want a House vote to proceed, regardless. The latest emails released by the committee show us exactly why Trump doesn’t want these files released. Even on a kind reading, they raise awkward questions. What does Epstein mean when he says Trump is the “dog that hasn’t barked”? When he says Trump “knew about the girls”, what is he getting at?
