>Having spoken with several sources inside the White House meetings today, I can report what I believe to be an accurate version of events regarding the release of the so-called ‘Epstein Files: Phase 1,’ which turned out to be a re-release of information that has mostly been known for several years. >One of the more intriguing details of today is that President Donald J. Trump himself was in a room with these binders containing Epstein’s flight and phone call logs. One of the pages even contained President Trump’s name, having been listed in Epstein’s phone book. >Again, that information is not new. But it is embarrassing for the White House, the vast majority of which is unlikely to have had any eyes on the documents handed to social media influencers who believed they were attending a simple series of policy briefings today. >Instead, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her team are being blamed very clearly in at least six conversations I’ve had this afternoon. Again, they gave no heads-up to either the influencers attending or White House staff about their intentions to distribute binders of information that contained little new information, frustrating both the administration and the general public. >Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna took to social media this afternoon to express her frustration at the situation, given she has been at the forefront of getting this information released to the public for years and, again, was not briefed in advance of the situation. . .
