"The U.S. government's release of over three million new documents, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, from Jeffrey Epstein's file exposes the hypocrisy of the Trump administration regarding the manner and timing of its public disclosure. It also raises well-founded suspicions that the breadth and influence of the sex offender's circle of accomplices contributed to his initial 2008 sentence being very lenient, thus allowing his heinous crimes to continue with complete impunity until July 2019."
"Finally, and equally important, it necessitates a collective effort to clearly distinguish between mere casual encounters, dangerous relationships, reprehensible behavior, and potential crimes among the extensive list of individuals from all walks of life who appear in the released documents. First, it's important to pay attention to how Trump is handling the timing of the documents' release because it goes far beyond mere mismanagement. The president and his inner circle have maintained a completely erratic and misinformation-generating attitude toward the scandal."

The Trump administration initially encouraged conspiracy theories that Epstein was murdered, then downplayed concerns when Trump's own connections emerged, producing erratic, misinformation-generating messaging.
