Trump könnte seine Siegesrunde über die jüngsten Epstein-Akten noch bereuen

The [White House](https://inews.co.uk/topic/the-white-house?ico=in-line_link) could be forgiven for breathing a sigh of relief. Not a single one of the major US newspapers led their Sunday editions with the latest release of more than three million documents by the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

Only the Los Angeles Times [bucked the trend](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-01-30/epstein-files-show-emails-between-la28-olympics-head-ghislaine-maxwell), but that was because the documents revealed explicit emails exchanged between Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the LA Olympics 2028 Organising Committee, and Epstein’s girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. (“I am terribly sorry,” Wasserman said in a statement, noting his exchanges with Maxwell occurred “long before her horrific crimes came to light”.)

On Saturday evening, [Donald Trump](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) even took a victory lap of sorts aboard Air Force One, telling reporters: “I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping.”

The President exuded so much confidence about his position, he even [threatened to](https://x.com/Acyn/status/2017810575196385679) file lawsuits against both the Epstein Estate – the source of many of the documents – as well as New York-based writer [Michael Wolff](https://inews.co.uk/topic/michael-wolff?ico=in-line_link).

“It looked like this guy Wolff was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me… to hurt me politically or otherwise,” Trump said, adding that he will “certainly” take legal action against the writer and “may” file a lawsuit against the convicted paedophile’s estate as well.

Since the release of the latest batch of Epstein files on Friday, US media coverage has [focused on](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/us/epstein-powerful-men.html) the documents’ revelations about Epstein’s friendships with [Elon Musk](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/dangers-trump-bringing-desperate-elon-musk-back-into-fold-4182255?ico=in-line_link), Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Barack Obama’s former White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler, among other prominent Americans.

Meanwhile, the UK media has focused on yet more revelations around [Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor](https://inews.co.uk/news/andrew-invited-epstein-buckingham-palace-financiers-child-sex-conviction-emails-show-4206484?ico=in-line_link) and [Peter Mandelson](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/jeffrey-epstein-sent-10000-peter-mandelsons-husband-files-reveal-4206151?ico=in-line_link).

However, the President’s bravado may still prove to be short lived. Trump’s name appears thousands of times in the released files, and some mentions of him raise fresh questions that Democrats in the House of Representatives are eager to pursue.

Of particular interest is an FBI summary of more than a dozen tips received about Epstein and Trump from members of the public, including accusations of sexual abuse by both men. Trump has continued to deny any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

He wont. The gop will not touch him for fear of the maga terrorists that run the party, and democrats lack the spine to do it.

He raped kids and got away with it
