"Give us control of Congress

The government does have an Epstein list — here’s the proof

Trump has a lot to lose from protecting Epstein’s clients. His base is furious. If nothing else, he’s now going to get booed at his own rallies. It’s even likely to be a potent issue in the 2026 midterms. House Democrats are already pushing Republicans to subpoena witnesses. You can almost hear them now — “Give us control of Congress and we’ll conduct proper hearings and get to the bottom of the Epstein mess!”

Once one understands that, then Trump's freak out makes a lot more sense.

This is not a sex scandal. This was a kompromat operation.

The people who received the underage sex were not clients. They were potential targets of extortion.

The clients are international agencies that want to put influential people into compromised positions.

The major press has the story 180° backwards backwards.
