“He had the same reaction I did, which was, ‘How the hell did that happen? He’s in federal custody?’”
Instead of the cover-up narrative Democrats were banking on, Trump’s reaction was the same as every other American — stunned disbelief that such a high-profile inmate could die under government supervision.
Trump Had Already Cut Ties
Barr went further, telling the committee that Trump had distanced himself from Epstein long before the scandal exploded.
According to Barr, Trump said “something to the effect that he had broken off with Epstein long ago and that he had actually pushed him out of Mar-a-Lago.”
That admission destroyed the media’s storyline. Far from being an ally of Epstein, Trump had long since cut him loose.
The Prediction That Came True
Even more telling, Barr said Trump immediately understood the political fallout that would follow Epstein’s death.
Trump warned him that the case would fuel endless “conspiracy theories.”
Once again, Trump was right. His instinct was spot-on — and it shows that while Democrats were busy weaponizing rumors, Trump was already thinking about the bigger picture.
Barr Dismantles the Conspiracies
Barr didn’t just recount Trump’s reaction. He spent much of his time explaining why he’s certain Epstein committed suicide. According to Barr, a series of failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center allowed Epstein to take his own life.
It wasn’t a grand conspiracy, and it certainly wasn’t a Trump-directed plot. It was government incompetence.
Comer Confirms Trump Was Cleared
Chairman James Comer made it plain after the deposition. He told reporters that Barr confirmed Trump “never had conversations with President Trump pertaining to a client list” and that Barr “had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this.”
Translation: Democrats’ master plan just went up in smoke.
If They Had Anything, It Would’ve Leaked
Barr himself even highlighted the obvious — if damaging evidence against Trump existed in the Epstein files, it would have already been leaked by the Biden administration.
He was blunt: “He felt like the Biden administration would have probably leaked it out.”
That point alone destroys the media’s years of innuendo. If proof existed, the Democrats would have weaponized it long ago. The fact that they’re still grasping at straws proves they’ve got nothing.
The Real Scandal
So where does that leave the Left? Empty-handed, once again. They tried to spin Epstein into a Trump scandal, and now they’re the ones looking foolish.
Even more ironic — Barr’s father had closer personal ties to Epstein than Trump ever did. Yet the media ignores that detail while clinging desperately to a storyline that just collapsed.
Bottom Line
Bill Barr’s testimony torched the smear campaign. Trump was shocked by Epstein’s death, had already cut ties years earlier, and predicted exactly how the conspiracy theories would play out.
Democrats hoped this investigation would be the nail in Trump’s coffin. Instead, it’s another embarrassing misfire that exposed their obsession with chasing fake scandals instead of fixing the country.
