Watch: Chuck Schumer Accidentally Admits the Truth When Asked About Biden and the Epstein Files
The article discusses Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s comments regarding the non-release of the Jeffrey Epstein files during President Joe Biden’s administration. When asked why the files were not made public while Biden was in office, Schumer responded by questioning what former President Donald Trump might be hiding, implying suspicion around Trump’s connection to epstein. This remark seemed contradictory since the files were not released under Biden’s term.
The article highlights the broader political debate around Epstein-related documents, with some democrats claiming Trump is implicated in Epstein’s underage sex trafficking ring. Despite these claims, the files were not released prior to the 2024 election, raising questions about political motivations.
Trump, simultaneously occurring, has stated he would sign legislation to release the Epstein files if passed by Congress and claims his administration already made 50,000 pages public. He also deflects blame onto Democrats, naming figures such as Bill clinton and others as friends of Epstein, calling it “a Democrat problem” and alleging the whole situation is a hoax aimed at Republicans.
The article suggests that if the files truly implicated Trump, Democrats would have used them to thier political advantage before the 2024 presidential election, implying the delay or withholding of the files may have political motives rather than purely legal or investigative reasons.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke the truth on Monday when he answered a reporter by saying that Americans want to know why the Jeffrey Epstein files were not released during Joe Biden’s administration.
“Why wouldn’t they [the Epstein files] have been released the last four years when President Biden was in office?” a reporter asked Schumer.
“That’s the question every American is asking,” he responded. “Not every American, but so many Americans are asking. What the hell is [Donald Trump] hiding?”
“Why doesn’t he want them released?” he added.
Perhaps Schumer misspoke or misheard the question, or maybe had a Freudian slip.
Question: Why didn’t the Biden admin release the Epstein material?
Schumer: “That’s the question Americans are asking. What the hell is Trump hiding?!”

After all, if the claims that Trump is implicated in Epstein’s underage sex trafficking ring were true, why didn’t the Biden Justice Department release the files while they were prosecuting the Republican presidential candidate for everything else under the sun going into the 2024 election?

Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday that he would sign legislation releasing the Epstein files.

“We have nothing to do with Epstein; the Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats,” Trump stated.
He offered billionaire PayPal co-founder Reid Hoffman, former President Bill Clinton, and former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers as examples.
“I hate to see that deflect from the great job we’ve done, so I’m all for it,” Trump said.
He noted that his administration had already released 50,000 pages regarding Epstein.
“We have nothing to do with Epstein; the Democrats do. All of his friends were Dems… I hate to see that deflect from the great job we’ve done, so I’m all for it,” says @POTUS on releasing the Epstein files.

“It’s just a Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, as it pertains to the Republicans,” the president said.
Trump concluded, “It’s really a Democrat problem. The Democrats were Epstein’s friends… The whole thing is a hoax. I don’t want it to take away from really the greatness of what the Republican Party has accomplished.”
Schumer may not have intended to want to help the president, but if the Epstein files truly implicated Trump, surely the Democrats would have released them before the 2024 election.
