Vice President JD Vance wasted the media on Monday because there was no question about the previous presidential administration why they were not transparent about the Jeffrey Epstein case.
In a speech in Canton, Ohio, touting President Donald Trump’s economic agenda, Vance answered the question whether Republicans are “protecting pedophiles” through Trump’s approach to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Vance said Trump has been the most transparent president on the theme of Epstein and slammed the mainstream media until a new censorship with the president in the office.
“In the four years of the Joe Biden Department of Justice, the media has not expressed damnation about the Epstein archives or the Epstein case,” he said.

Some Trump supporters and critics accused the administration of conspiring to cover up details of a sex trafficking case targeting predators, after Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI said earlier this month that there were no more key details about the Epstein case.
“This systematic review shows that there are no ‘customer list’,” the joint memorandum revealed to Axios. “There is also no reliable evidence to find Epstein blackmailed outstanding people as part of his actions. We have found no evidence that can prove the investigation of uncharged third parties.”
The revelation shocked many magazine Republicans and Trump supporters who for years considered Epstein as the heart of a child sex trafficking ring involving prominent figures in global blackmail.

In Canton, Associated Press reporter Julie Carr Smyth asked Vance: “There are some protesters outside accusing the Republican of protecting pedophiles and wondering why you think the U.S. government should put Epstein’s client list in the public and what you have to say about it here today.”
Vance responded that Trump was already transparent.
“First of all, the President is very clear that we are not covering up anything. The President directed the Attorney General to release all reliable information, frankly, to look for other reliable information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. He is very transparent about these things.”
“The president is very clear that he wants full transparency,” Vance added.
Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all “related” transcripts about the case after a strong opposition to the Justice Department and the FBI Epstein memorandum.

Vance then tore up the media’s novel curiosity about the case during Trump’s second term.
“For 20 years, you have made Obama and George W. Bush’s Justice Department easy on this guy. They have not fully investigated the case, they have not shown any curiosity about the case, and now Donald J. Trump is asking his Justice Department to show full transparency, somehow criticizing Donald J. Trump and Barack Obama and George W. Bush.”

Vance advises AP reporters and Trump critics: “If you want to criticize those who don’t show full transparency, you should pursue a lightweight executive branch for Jeffrey Epstein, a case that covers up 20 years of cases and a government that fails to show full transparency.”
