    WATCH: CNN Freaks Out As Democrats Get Exposed in the Epstein Files

    On CNN’s News Central, anchor John Berman asked Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) about potential additional Democratic names emerging in the Jeffrey Epstein files back after President Trump signed a bill directing the DOJ release them within 30 days, leading to something of a stunner on the network as  Murphy responded bluntly: “So what?”

    Then, continuing, the woke Democratic Senator accused Trump of prior delays, possibly to protect himself, and suggested the DOJ was in the process of redacting Trump’s mentions. However, a closer investigation proves that a slew of Democratic politicians were deeply tied to the controversial billionaire.

    Starting off the segment, the CNN anchor stated, “You mentioned the investigations into Democrats who had been named in the files that were released by the Epstein estate. One of the things the President did say, and again, he signed it overnight, no signing ceremony, no TV cameras, no nothing.”

    Finally getting to his point, John Berman said, “But he did put out a true social release where he noted that Democrats have been mentioned again in what has been released so far. What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out as a result of this.”

    Responding to the question, the biased Democrat asserted, “So what? I mean, yeah, I’m sure that there are Democrats in those files. There are Republicans in those files. There are Wall Street executives who have no political affiliation.”

    Still not done, the Connecticut Democrat alleged, “What we want is to understand who was involved in this. I mean, I don’t think the President is so selfless that he was, you know, stopping the release of these files for so long because he was protecting his friends.”

    “I just think it stands to reason that he’s very much connected to this scandal, and we may or may not know the extent of that, because it could be that the President is going to try to find a way to redact any information connected to him from those files,” the biased senator stated.

    Concluding his comments with an unconvincing pretense at impartiality, Chris Murphy claimed, “But to me, it just doesn’t matter the political affiliation. The law is the law. They need to release the files all right.” However, when we investigate these claims, the truth is clear.”

    Watch the clip here:

    For example, as we reported at the American Tribune, U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D) has been exposed in recently released Epstein documents, to have texted Jeffrey Epstein. She called him a “friend” in 2018, shared sensitive legislative information, and accepted campaign donations from him despite his prior conviction.

    In one of the messages, she texted, “I know you’re tremendously busy. Thanks so much for taking time and sharing ideas and thoughts. I appreciate your support and hope I’m not presumptuous to consider you a friend.”

    Likewise, a 2019 New York Post report proved that Jeffrey Epstein donated $7,000 to Sen. Chuck Schumer via seven $1,000 contributions. Additionally, the convicted sex offender gave $15,000 to Schumer-linked committees.
