Trump controls the DOJ, and he controls the media.

He'll either have the DOJ release a few selected pages of the Ep[stein files to make it look like Dems are implicated, or he'll have the media run a story with an anonymous source that says they saw Hillary eating babies at Epstein's island. He's not going to be taken down by this, period, he has too much power to distract.
