Nueva información sobre el caso Jeffrey Epstein podría hacerse pública en breve tras una marcha atrás del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y semanas de críticas, las más sonoras de las cuales han llegado desde el seno del movimiento MAGA.

Washington

U.S. President Donald Trump has authorized the release of further documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case after facing sustained criticism from across the political spectrum, including from prominent figures within the MAGA movement. Despite previously downplaying the significance of the case, Trump reversed his position following calls for greater transparency and public pressure.

The Epstein case, which involves a convicted sex offender with connections to influential individuals, has long been a source of speculation and conspiracy theories. While some Trump allies have demanded the release of all related files, including a purported list of names, it remains unclear what new information will be made public. The White House has denied claims that Trump is implicated, but dissatisfaction persists among his supporters.

Los archivos de Epstein podrían salir a la luz tras la marcha atrás de Trump

Ante la creciente presión, Donald Trump aprueba la publicación de más documentos del caso Jeffrey Epstein incluso mientras resta importancia a lo que pueda haber en esos archivos. Pero no entiendo por qué el caso de Jeffrey Epstein sería de interés para alguien. Es un asunto bastante aburrido. Es sórdido, pero es aburrido. Trump ha intentado durante semanas silenciar las preguntas en torno a la transparencia. ¿Sigues hablando de Jeffrey Epstein? Hace años que se habla de este tipo. Cediendo tras las críticas de todo el espectro político. El pueblo estadounidense merece saber la verdad, toda la verdad y nada más que la verdad. Es un tema muy delicado, pero deberíamos exponerlo todo y dejar que el pueblo decida. Epstein, un delincuente sexual convicto, murió por suicidio en 2019 mientras esperaba el juicio. Sus conexiones muy reales con los ricos y poderosos convirtiendo el caso en un imán para los teóricos de la conspiración, una fijación dentro de la base MAGA de Trump. Ven a Jeffrey Epstein como una especie de avatar de una conspiración más profunda y amplia que está envolviendo a un montón de figuras políticas e individuos ricos cuyos nombres no han salido a la luz pero existen en alguna lista. En febrero, el fiscal general de Trump dijo que existía una lista. Está en mi escritorio ahora mismo para revisarla. Ha sido una directiva del presidente Trump. Pero nunca se hizo pública ninguna lista. El ex asesor de Trump convertido en crítico Elon Musk afirmó que es porque Trump está en los archivos. Aunque la Casa Blanca lo negó, los votantes MAGA no están satisfechos. Sólo escucha esta encuesta informal en una reciente convención política conservadora. ¿Cuántos de ustedes no están satisfechos con los resultados de la investigación? Las figuras mediáticas de la extrema derecha MAGA Laura Loomer y Steve Bannon también han sido críticos. Y Dan Bongino, subdirector del FBI, al parecer amenazó con dejar su trabajo a menos que los archivos sean liberados. Si la fiscal general va a publicar algo nuevo, no lo dice. Nada sobre Epstein. No voy a hablar de Epstein. Hay preguntas legítimas sobre la investigación de Epstein. Al mismo tiempo, está profundamente envuelta en teorías conspirativas. Trump trafica en la conspiración de Epstein a COVID al fraude electoral. Pero esta vez, por primera vez, puede ser contraproducente. Y Katie, muchas de las críticas vienen de la leal base MAGA de Trump. No se parece a nada a lo que Trump se haya enfrentado antes. Una y otra vez, se le da el beneficio de la duda por MAGA. En este momento, está teniendo problemas para controlar la narrativa. Katie Simpson informando en Washington.
