The BBC is fairly popular in the US, but I'd guess not with Trumpers. Is this the best distraction he's got? I wonder if the impetus of this came from our own cranks.

Not clear yet whether this is the line- I expect they were caught on the hop. But they could do with a better line.

One hesitates to call Schumer a strategic genius, but if they knew they had this ready to go, the shutdown deal looks more comprehensible.

This line may not hold either.

White House says new batch of Epstein emails is part of 'fake narrative' in an attempt to 'smear' Donald Trump
In response to the latest batch of emails released by House Democrats on the oversight committee, the White House said this was an attempt to “to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump”.

In a statement, press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed “the ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever. However, the emails redacted the name of the victim when they were released, and Leavitt didn’t expand on her reasoning.

“The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre. These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments,” she added. “Any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”

Doubtless this looks clever because Virginia Giuffre is dead. I wonder if it might be a different victim, who isn't dead?

Surely it's more that Virginia Giuffre is on record exonerating Trump, it would be very convenient if the redacted victim was her.

I'm not sure that Virginia Giuffre really does exonerate Trump. All she says is that she never saw him do anything wrong. She may not have seen him doing anything wrong but she does place him at Epstein Island.

Why's he spending all this time with her? Sounds like something was up with somebody.
