In a recent episode of the “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed the controversial story published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) about President Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The article, titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s Ties to Donald Trump,” has been met with widespread criticism and has been deemed as nothing more than a hit piece on the President.
The WSJ article, which was published on July 17th, 2020, claims that Trump and Epstein had a close relationship in the 1990s and early 2000s. It also suggests that Trump may have been involved in Epstein’s illegal activities, despite there being no evidence to support these claims. The timing of the article’s release, just a few months before the 2020 presidential election, has raised suspicions about the true intentions behind its publication.
But let’s take a step back and look at the facts. The WSJ article is based on testimonies from two anonymous sources who claim to have knowledge of Trump and Epstein’s relationship. These sources have not been identified, and their credibility is highly questionable. In contrast, there is ample evidence to suggest that Trump and Epstein were not close friends, as the article suggests.
Firstly, Trump has publicly stated that he had a falling out with Epstein over a decade ago and has not spoken to him since. In fact, in a 2002 interview with New York Magazine, Trump stated that he was “not a fan” of Epstein and that he had “a lot of problems” with him. This contradicts the WSJ’s claim that the two were close friends.
Furthermore, Trump banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, after he was accused of sexually assaulting a minor on the premises. This shows that Trump had no tolerance for Epstein’s illegal activities and was not afraid to distance himself from him.
The WSJ article also conveniently ignores the fact that Trump was the only high-profile individual to cooperate with authorities during the initial investigation into Epstein’s crimes in 2009. Trump provided valuable information to the authorities, which ultimately led to Epstein’s conviction and imprisonment.
So why would the WSJ publish such a baseless and misleading article? The answer is simple – to smear President Trump’s reputation and influence the upcoming election. The mainstream media has been relentless in their attacks on Trump, and this article is just another attempt to discredit him.
But the utter absurdity of the WSJ’s hit piece on Trump is not just limited to its lack of evidence and biased reporting. It also conveniently ignores the fact that Bill Clinton, a close friend of Epstein’s, has been accused of being involved in his illegal activities. In fact, Clinton has flown on Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” multiple times and has been photographed with him on numerous occasions. Yet, the WSJ fails to mention this in their article.
It is clear that the WSJ’s article is nothing more than a desperate attempt to tarnish Trump’s reputation and sway public opinion. But the American people are not easily fooled. They can see through the media’s biased reporting and will not be swayed by baseless accusations.
In conclusion, the WSJ’s Epstein-Trump story is a prime example of the mainstream media’s agenda to discredit President Trump. The lack of evidence, biased reporting, and selective omission of facts make it clear that this article is nothing more than a hit piece. As the 2020 election approaches, it is crucial to question the motives behind such articles and not fall prey to their manipulative tactics. Let us focus on the real issues and not be distracted by baseless accusations.
