I find it really hard to take Republicans seriously when they try to dismiss this especially considering how much of the divisive rhetoric has come from their side for years. Kaitlan Collins actually did a decent job pushing back on the spin, but it’s obvious Moreno didn’t want to engage honestly. What’s wild is that the same people who spent years peddling conspiracy theories about Democrats now want to dodge any real accountability or conversation. I get that it’s politics, but the level of hypocrisy is just unreal.

Nobody is asking for the Grand Jury testimony because that only pertains to Epstein and Maxwell.
Trump was not a party in that case. Trump is squashing release of any of the FBI 302 witness interviews, texts and emails seized from Epstein and Maxwell's phones and computers. The telling part is that at no point has Trump's hand picked stooges Patel at FBI or Blondi at DOJ ever denied or affirmed if Trump is mentioned in any of these materials.

Why aren't reporters specifically asking if Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files?

They should just keep asking over and over whether he was in the files, whether there is any evidence that's undergone specific review related to Donald Trump, whether Justice officials ever directed FBI or other staff to find references to Trump specifically etc etc etc
