Anti-Trump media outlet The Bulwark is weaponizing selectively released Epstein files to attack President Trump, despite the White House confirming the documents prove he “did nothing wrong.”
Story Highlights
- The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell claims old Epstein emails show “leverage” over Trump without concrete evidence
- House Democrats bypass GOP leadership with discharge petition to force more file releases
- Trump administration officials deny wrongdoing while calling the attacks a politically motivated “hoax”
- Never-Trump activists coordinate media blitz despite White House denials and lack of substantive proof
Never-Trump Media Pushes Unsubstantiated Claims
Sarah Longwell and her anti-Trump colleagues at The Bulwark are amplifying decade-old email fragments to manufacture a scandal against President Trump. The outlet claims 2011 and 2015 emails between Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff somehow demonstrate “leverage” over Trump. However, their own reporting admits these are inferential claims rather than documented proof of wrongdoing.
Democrats Exploit House Procedures for Political Theater
House Democrats are circumventing normal legislative processes through a discharge petition that has reached 218 signatures, forcing a vote on additional Epstein file releases. This procedural maneuver, led by Representatives like Adelita Grijalva, deliberately bypasses Republican leadership to create maximum political damage. The timing coincides suspiciously with Trump’s busy governing agenda, suggesting coordinated opposition tactics rather than legitimate oversight.
White House Defends President Against Baseless Attacks
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has clearly stated that the released documents prove “Trump did nothing wrong,” directly contradicting The Bulwark’s inflammatory narrative. Trump himself has dismissed these attacks as the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” recognizing the coordinated effort to distract from his administration’s accomplishments. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have appropriately engaged with lawmakers like Lauren Boebert to explain the administration’s position on these politically motivated file releases.

The Bulwark’s own internal discussions reveal skepticism about their ability to actually damage Trump through these tactics, with some voices questioning Longwell’s overly optimistic claims about political impact. This admission undermines their credibility while exposing the desperation of Never-Trump activists seeking any angle to attack the democratically elected president. Patriots should recognize this as another manufactured controversy designed to undermine conservative leadership and distract from America First policies.
