Because this is what Trump had promised incessantly during the campaign. He and many of MAGA rightfully believe that the Democrats are involved with the Epstein case and it was surprisingly a Bi-Partisan issue. Fucking Leftists were also interested in the epstein files being released because they fucking hated the Clintons and the Democratic party just as much as Republicans do.
What does he do? completely deny the existence and obfuscate from the files.
We went from, "There are no Epstein files" to "The Epstein files are a democrat hoax" to "We will release it, I promise I swear" to "OMG STAHP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!1!!!!111". It's just endless lies and obfuscation to distract people who VOTED for trump from releasing the files.
The MAGA movement rightfully stated over and over that the Epstein Files must be released. Almost everyone agreed with that. It was something that MAGA can latch onto to get elected to finally get shit done. MAGA got the president, the house, and the senate now to release them. What does trump do? Nothing but lie and obfuscate.
This is the reason why no one will shut up about the epstein case. It was a promise that Trump had fucking broken when he was elected president.
