Scott Jennings slams Democrats’ attacks on Trump over Epstein files: ‘They’re trying to mislead’

WASHINGTON, DC: Conservative commentator Scott Jennings lashed out at Democrats on Thursday, February 26, accusing them of using Jeffrey Epstein files to unfairly attack Trump’s character.

Jennings argued that while people focus on Trump’s name appearing in the documents, they are ignoring evidence that suggests the president actually tried to help authorities.

Scott Jennings, during an interview with CNN, claimed that the narrative being pushed by Democrats is a deliberate attempt at "trying to mislead the American people. It’s the Steele dossier all over again. That’s all this is."

He emphasized that the records currently being released under a law Trump himself signed do not contain allegations of wrongdoing against him but rather highlight his early warnings about Epstein’s behavior.

Jennings stated, “The only real true thing that we know is that he called up the police in Florida and said, ‘You need to look at this. You need to look at this guy. You need to look at Ghislaine Maxwell.’”

He further noted that Trump was "warning them about what Jeffrey Epstein was doing."

Furthermore, Jennings did not hold back when discussing the political fallout from the file releases.

He criticized figures like Hillary Clinton for being "all too happy to go on television and cast aspersions on his character using this idea that his name appears in the files."

He argued that these attacks are a distraction from the reality that no evidence of misconduct by Trump has been found.

"You have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat... being quite clear that the president has never been accused of anything in wrongdoing," Jennings said.

When questioned about why Trump initially raised concerns about the law that eventually released these files, Jennings explained that it was a matter of protecting innocent bystanders rather than a cover-up.

He noted that Trump eventually "signed the law" but had "raised a legitimate issue" regarding the release of unredacted information.

Jennings pointed to instances where people with no connection to the crimes were unfairly mentioned, saying, "when you start dumping unredacted and uncorroborated documents out into the public domain, people who have nothing to do with it could be getting hurt."

He concluded that despite the "onerous" process of reviewing millions of documents, the truth of Trump's early cooperation remains the most significant takeaway.
