In a heated conversation, Walkinshaw criticized Donald Trump for what he described as a history of lying about his connection with Jeffrey Epstein. He claimed Trump’s name would be “at or near the top” of any list of people mentioned in the documents.
“Thousands of mentions,” Walkinshaw said directly.
He said Trump had lied many times about how close they were, including saying he had kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
According to Walkinshaw, a document he looked at showed Epstein’s lawyers had talked to Trump, and Trump said he never kicked Epstein out.
So he asked, “Why does he keep lying?”
Walkinshaw also brought up Virginia Giuffre’s claim that she was brought in from Mar-a-Lago, which makes people wonder how close Trump was to Epstein’s activities.
But Walkinshaw says this isn’t just about one person — it’s about the whole group.
Democrats on the Judiciary and Oversight Committees are looking through redacted files, gathering information from people, and focusing on what Walkinshaw calls the most important clue: the money.
“This was a huge global network,” he said.
“How did the money move? Who knew what was going on?”
He pointed to billionaire Les Wexner — who gave Epstein a lot of money and gave him a Manhattan home where abuse happened — as someone key to understanding how Epstein got his money.
Walkinshaw said he was frustrated that key FBI 302 statements and millions of pages of documents haven’t been released.
But he said subpoenas are already in action, and if Democrats get back into power, they’ll push hard for compliance.
At the heart of this case, Walkinshaw says, is something bigger: a system where the powerful feel they can get away with anything.
“Why is it that the Les Wexners and the Epsteins of the world can lie and get richer, while average families can’t even afford food?”
That’s not just a legal issue.
It’s a political one — and it’s going to be a big part of the coming election.
