^^^^ While saying that his name is not cited in the Epstein files, Donald Trump also floats a baseless conspiracy theory that the Epstein files were altered by James Comey, Barack Obama and the Biden administration. :
"And I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden (administration). And we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all of the things we had to go through." -- President Donald Trump on July 15, 2025
However, if it's true that Donald Trump's name isn't cited in the Epstein files, then his theory that they were fabricated by James Comey, Barack Obama and the Biden administration doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't they have implicated him. if they could? Also, if Donald Trump has nothing to hide here, then why is he suddenly becoming so defensive over the Epstein files? I'm starting to believe that it is at least possible that Donald Trump's name is featured prominently in the Epstein files. Trump is acting very paranoid at the moment.
Finally, if he knew that the Epstein files were "fabricated" by James Comey, Barack Obama and the Biden administration, why didn't he mention that before? Why did he wait until this controversy over not releasing them boiled over? Donald Trump has never been someone to sit on an allegation when he feels that he has been victimized. This latest Trump theory smells like bull $hit from a mile away .... and yet, the right-wing echo chamber / Trump-MAGA cult on the politics forum of VolNation will believe every single word of it, just like the gullible sheep that they are.
