Some in the mainstream media are trying to sound “objective” by treating Trump’s claim that Democrats should have released the Epstein files when they had power as a valid point.

One of those people is CNN’s Jake Tapper, who asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN):

So President Trump posted on TRUTH Social Friday -- quote -- "If there was a smoking gun on Epstein, why didn't the Democrats who controlled the files for four years and had Garland and Comey in charge use it? Because they had nothing" -- unquote.

After "The Miami Herald" story broke in 2018, you said there was something not right in the Epstein case. But it's true that -- the president says there. Democrats didn't really seem to do anything about the Epstein files throughout the four years of the Biden administration.

I mean, should you have? You sit on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senator Marsha Blackburn for years has been trying to get flight records and other information about Epstein released, and she seems to have been the only one on that committee trying to do so.

Sen. Klobuchar answered:

So the president blaming Democrats for this disaster, Jake, is like that CEO that got caught on camera blaming Coldplay, OK?

Like, this is his making. He was president when Epstein got indicted for these charges and went to prison. He was president when Epstein committed suicide. And then there was another case, as you know, that continued during the Biden administration.

But he was president back then. So all of us would believe they know what's in these documents. They know what's there. They have been claiming forever that they should be released. And it is the Trump administration that gave a bunch of binders that said volume one to reporters just in the last month.

It is the Trump administration that has made this promise that they're going to release it. So I am blaming -- Democrats for this, to me, I'm sorry. This is -- the people that have been fomenting this are right- wing influencers, members of Congress. People who have a reason that they want to know what's in there. They believe the president when he said there's stuff in there that people should see.

"Wall Street Journal," these are not bastions of liberalism or wild progressives that have come out and said the public have a right to know what is in these documents.

Trump was in office when Epstein was indicted. Trump was in office when Epstein died, and Trump ran for the White House again on a promise to release the Epstein files, so Democrats don’t have anything to do with this, no matter Jake Tapper might have been hoping for.

Amy Klobuchar is reportedly eyeing another run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, and she is currently in the media saying all the right things.

Trump is trying to blame Democrats for the mess that he created, so it is important for people, like Amy Klobuchar, to go on media, and make sure that the record is set straight, because there are far too many mainstream media members who are willing to carry water for Donald Trump.
