Lawrence O'Donnell Predicts Upcoming Epstein Vote Means 'Massive Rebellion' Against Trump
HuffPost
The "Last Word" host also examined why President Donald Trump has changed his public tune on the release of classified documents.
MS NOW host Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday examined why President Donald Trump has changed his tune about the classified documents on Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex trafficker who once called Trump his “closest friend,” after staunchly opposing their release.
The “Last Word” host began his segment with a clip of Trump being asked Monday in the Oval Office if he would sign a bill to release the files, after several months of Trump and his administration downplaying or downright dismissing his past ties to Epstein.
“I do want to,” he told reporters. “Here’s what I want. We have nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. ... Some of the people that we mentioned are being looked at very seriously for their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.”
Trump continued at the time, “But they were with him all the time. I wasn’t. I wasn’t at all.”
O’Donnell noted that Trump is “the only politician” in all of the documents released to date shown “partying” with Epstein on video, and that Trump seems to have socialized far more often with Epstein than anyone else he’s now naming, suggesting the president lied.
