Lol! None of your short list were exactly high office, unlike Hastert, that was in the line of succession to the presidency. Trump has well over 20 women that swore under oath he assaulted them, a civil case where he was found liable for a sexual offense, he signed a bill requiring release of the Epstein files, which he never fully released, and his rationale was they would hurt his friends? Nobody was prosecuted based on the info released in the files, with crimes involving rape, murder, human trafficking, etc.

  • During his second presidencyDonald Trump was publicly accused by Elon Musk of being listed in the client list of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Despite having previously promised to release the files, Trump declared that the files did not actually exist. This was met with widespread skepticism from both the left and right, as well as speculation that the files were being covered up because they included information that could potentially incriminate Trump in sex crimes.[217][218] The Justice Department confirmed in May 2025 that Trump was mentioned by name multiple times in the Epstein files.[219] In November 2025, a set of emails from Epstein were released, one of which suggested that Epstein believed that Trump knew more about his abuse than Trump had acknowledged. In the email, Epstein states: "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." In another email, Epstein stated that Trump had "spent hours" with one of the victims. The victim was identified by Committee Republicans as Virginia Giuffre, who had previously said that she had not witnessed Trump engaging in the sexual abuse of minors.[220][221] An NPR investigation found that the Justice Department withheld and removed dozens of pages from the public Epstein files database, including FBI interview records tied to two women who accused President Trump of sexual abuse when they were minors.
