What a stupid strategic blunder

The Epstein files were all but put on the back burner due to the Iran wat (just like the orange bastard wanted) and then Melania brings it back to the fore to "clear her name". The orange bastard must be fuming.

is more damaging to their agenda and need the press back focused on a domestic stonewall.

Trump and Hegseth look like the fools they are, so in true trump fashion, he hides behind Melania's skirt.

Nothing new is going to come out re Epstein until the Dems get back in control.

Then the GOPs will obstruct and shred and burn and snuff out any trace.

Maybe the Iranians have uncovered some Epstein-dirt on trump and his family. I imagine such info would be VERY valuable at the negotiating table.

Their lawsuits have been going back and forth for at least 6 months. Melania is trying to stop Wolff from publishing his latest book, and he (presumably) has proof that everything in the book is true.

We don't know because we haven't seen the book yet. BUT he's been on-target (almost) 100% in his other books about Chump & family. So I give him the benefit of the doubt, when compared to the Chump family and their lawsuit-crazy lawyers.

Melania's latest statement is in defense of her lawsuit, and she's fighting tooth and nail to get Wolff to give up. I'm sure it's a mistake on her part, because he's an old newspaper man - he has proof for everything he writes in his books. He won't be silenced.
