House Republicans on Wednesday released 23,000 pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein after months of delays. The move came shortly after Democrats disclosed emails from that trove suggesting President Trump knew far more about Mr. Epstein’s sex trafficking than he previously acknowledged. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three emails referencing Trump, including one Epstein wrote in 2011 in which he told confidant Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump had “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with a sex trafficking victim.
In a 2018 email, Epstein said of Trump, "I know how dirty donald is."
And in a 2019 email to a journalist, Epstein wrote that Donald Trump “knew about the girls.”
BRIAN TYLER COHEN:I'm coming to you from downtown Los Angeles, the biggest protest in Southern California here, No Kings Day. We have some major breaking news here. That is that this protest across the country in more than 2600 communities has now reached more than 7 million people who've taken to the streets, making it the biggest protest in American history.
There were over 2600 locations across the United States. And by the way, in other cities across the world, but 2,600 locations, that makes the most locations across the country that we have ever seen. So really big update in terms of a protest that the right was trying their level best to try and denigrate and suppress in the leadup to this weekend.
And that's especially important because so much of the power that Donald Trump relies on is being able to use the office of the presidency to quash dissent.... But what he can't do it against is millions upon millions of Americans taking to the streets.... And he knew that in the leadup to this thing, which is why he was trying so hard to rebrand this as the Hate America rally, as the Antifa rally, trying anything he could to prevent people from coming to to quash enthusiasm about this event. [...] But of course, with 7 million people who've taken to the streets across the country, this is a major win for the organizers, a major win for the pro-democracy movement in this country, and a major loss for the Trump administration that was trying as hard as it could to quash any and all dissent.
"They give me only bad publicity, press. ...I would think maybe their license should be taken away," Trump said. Trump specifically referred to criticism he has gotten from Kimmel and CBS late-night talk-show host Stephen Colbert. Trump continued, "But when you go back, take a look, all they do is hit Trump. ...They're not allowed to do that."
Yes, Trump, the Constitution guarantees their right to voice their opinions. The problem you are experiencing is not with them, it's with you. You are a crybaby, throwing a tantrum over something that is perfectly normal in America. It's called freedom of speech. If you don't like it, I encourage you to leave.
These media corporations are giving in to Trump without a fight. Which means he is now in control of all the broadcaster's content. Trump will decide what you are allowed to see and hear. And he will not stop there. Because when you give in to a bully, they are emboldened to take even more. Our right to freedom of speech is being ripped out of our U.S. Constitution by the Trump administration. If this doesn't scare the hell out of you, you're not paying attention. For, this is not the end of Trump's war against free speech. It's just the beginning.
