Trump cultists assaulted a woman wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt at Trump’s Ohio rally. Epstein files contain over 38,000 references to Trump and related terms across 5,300 files. Trump was Epstein's best friend for nearly 15 years at the peak of his crime network.

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

Trump just fell for a FAKE Denzel Washington endorsement, sharing a fabricated quote claiming the Oscar-winning actor called him the smartest and bravest person he’d ever met. Even more embarrassing? The exact same fake endorsement has been attributed to Matthew McConaughey and Mick Jagger.
