Scott Jennings Stuns CNN Panel With Claim About Trump, Epstein: 'We Would Already Know'
HuffPost
The conservative commentator made a rather curious argument Tuesday that completely disregarded potential new evidence waiting to be released.
Scott Jennings on Tuesday made the remarkable claim that if President Donald Trump had any involvement in the crimes of late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the public “would already know it” — despite a trove of classified documents in the matter still awaiting release.
The CNN panel discussion on “NewsNight with Abby Phillip” quickly turned contentious.
“I think he’s sick of being accused by Democrats and a lot of people in the media of having had something to do with Epstein when he had nothing to do with Epstein,” said Jennings at the top of the show. “There’s not a shred of evidence he ever did anything wrong.”
Fellow panelist and film producer Franklin Leonard challenged the logic behind that notion, as many files have clearly not yet been released. Leonard said he’d like to see them before absolving Trump ― whom Epstein once called his “closest friend” ― of potential wrongdoing.
“You think after 10 years of public life, you wouldn’t know it already?” Jennings asked, prompting Leonard to swiftly note: “No, I don’t — that’s exactly the point.”
