Michael Cohen - September 3rd: The Day Silence Ends [View all]

I know it’s Labor Day. We should all be out there enjoying the long weekend; grilling burgers, soaking up the last rays of summer, stealing one more lazy afternoon with family and friends before life and politics come roaring back. One day. Just one damn day to relax.

But not so fast. Because while you’re flipping ribs on the grill or sneaking another cold beer from the cooler, the ghost of Epstein’s past is still looming over us all. You can’t barbecue away a scandal this big. Not when the survivors of his abuse are about to step forward and remind America that their trauma doesn’t take holidays. And not when the files—the real evidence—are still locked away in the government’s vault like radioactive waste no one wants to touch.

How many times have you heard me say it? Release. The. Files. The words have become a mantra, shouted into the void, met with shrugs and excuses. People assume because I once lived inside Trump’s orbit that I’ve got the magic key to every locked box in America, especially when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Let me set the record straight: I don’t. If I did, you’d already have seen it splashed across every front page in the country.

But someone does have them: the government. Those files exist, they are complete, and they are sitting behind bureaucratic walls while survivors of Epstein’s abuse are left waiting for justice. And it’s not just about satisfying curiosity. These files aren’t tabloid fodder; they’re evidence. They hold the names, dates, connections, and decisions that explain how a predator built his empire, who enabled him, and who looked away. That’s the truth Washington is so terrified of releasing.
