The Epstein Crisis No One Controls [View all]

Michael Cohen

There are scandals; and then there are infernos. What we’re watching right now is the latter, fully engulfed in gasoline. And the fire chief sent in to contain it? Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States. And if that sounds unusual, that’s because it is. In fact, it's not just unusual; it’s a five-alarm signal that something deeper, more radioactive, is going on beneath the surface.

The spark? President Trump’s latest revisionist history about his former friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. This time, he claims he cut ties because Epstein “stole” young women who worked at Mar-a-Lago, including Virginia Giuffre. Gone is the old line: Epstein was a “creep,” end of story. Instead, we’re now being fed a new origin tale, one that casts Trump as a sort of protector figure, chasing Epstein off the property for poaching staff. Forgive me, but it’s hard to square that with the actual timeline—and harder still to buy when it’s showing up two decades late and right on cue.

You see, this isn’t just about what Trump said. It’s about why he’s saying it now—and why Blanche, his onetime defense attorney and now Deputy AG, is suddenly playing point man. When the number two official at DOJ dives into a legacy sex-trafficking scandal, it means someone’s not just nervous—they’re terrified of what might still come out.

Let’s talk about Virginia Giuffre. Virginia was one of the most courageous and central voices in the Epstein saga. She named names. She told the world what happened behind closed doors. She held people accountable. And in April 2025, she died by suicide. A tragedy. A loss. And now, a convenient absence.
