President Donald Trump has vowed to release incriminating documents if re-elected, which could complicate life for many powerful people and institutions.
the host of the “Lex Friedman Podcast” asked Trump: episode President Trump announced Wednesday whether he will seek the release of additional documents related to associates of the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump said he would have “no problem” doing so.
“There was a moment of hesitation on your part about Epstein, about releasing some of the documents about Epstein. Why was there hesitation?”
Republicans don't seem to accept this premise, saying, “I don't think I'm involved. I've never been to his island.” FortunatelyBut many people did.”
Trump explained why he allowed various powerful people access to Epstein: “He was a great salesman. You know, he was a lively, dynamic type of guy. He had great assets to distribute, like an island.”
“A lot of great people have been to that island,” Trump continued, “but luckily I was not one of them.”
Trump initially suggested a list of Epstein's clients who visited Little St. James island would “probably” be made public.
Late last year, Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta A. Preska Ordered It released the names of more than 150 people named in Epstein's legal documents. document He then went on to publicly name the pedophile's friends, associates and alleged victims.
Flight Log A report from December 2021 on the pedophile's private jet, the so-called “Lolita Express,” also identifies several people who were in Epstein's entourage.
But Fridman seemed particularly interested in the names of the wealthy people who visited Little St. James, the paedophile island.
“It's very strange to many people that there is no public list of customers who have visited the island,” the podcaster said.
“Yeah, that would be very interesting, right? I think it would be,” Trump said. “I would definitely take a look at it.”
Trump added: “Yes, I'm going to do the Epstein thing. No problem.”
“Some people come to me and beg me not to do that.”
During the interview, Frydman also asked Trump whether he would ask for the release of other documents that are being hidden from the American public.
“A lot of people are very interested in UFO footage,” Fridman told Trump. pentagon Released Some videosThere are also anecdotal reports from fighter pilots.”
After warming up, Fridman asked, “Would you help us lobby the Department of Defense to release more of the footage that many people claim is available?”
Trump responded, “I would. I would love to. I have to.”
The Republican suggested that just as the government has a strong interest in releasing more information about unidentified paranormal phenomena, it is also under pressure to release more information about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
“I've certainly leaked a lot of information,” Trump said, “but I've had people come up to me and beg me not to leak it.”
During his presidency, President Trump Tens of thousands of documents In a statement on October 26, 2017, in relation to the Kennedy assassination: Note To heads of government agencies:
The American people expect and deserve their government to provide maximum access to the records of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy so that the public can finally be fully informed about every aspect of this vital event. Therefore, today I am ordering the veil to be finally lifted.
Under apparent pressure from the FBI and CIA, President Trump temporarily withheld thousands of additional documents pending further review, citing the need to “protect against harm to military defense, intelligence, law enforcement, or diplomatic operations that is so significant that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure.”
RFK Jr. Suggested Last month, President Trump told Tucker Carlson that he acknowledged that it was former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who “begged” him not to release the Kennedy Papers.
Although President Trump delayed the release of the documents, he had indicated while in office that the remaining documents would be released by October 2021.
When the time came, President Joe Biden stepped in and hid the secret files from the American public.
Trump said Trump supporters were incensed after President Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month voiced his support for Trump releasing “all remaining documents relating to the assassination of John F. Kennedy” and saying that if elected, he would set up a new commission into the assassination attempt on the president.
Trump reiterated to Fridman on the podcast that he would follow through on the plan and act “very soon.”
