During a press session on Air Force One, President Donald Trump directed a derogatory remark towards a female reporter in response to a query regarding the Epstein files. The journalist, Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg, had inquired about Trump’s name appearing numerous times in emails linked to Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious figure in the pedophile scandal. Trump’s response to Lucey’s question included a forceful gesture and the words, “Quiet! Quiet, piggy.”

In related developments, the House was set to vote on a bill compelling the Justice Department to disclose Epstein-related files. Initially met with opposition from Republican leadership and Trump, the bill gained momentum following Trump’s shift in stance over the weekend, urging House Republicans to support it. Trump later expressed readiness to sign the bill if it passes both House and Senate, emphasizing the importance of Republicans aligning on the issue.

The renewed interest in transparency surrounding the Epstein case coincided with the return of lawmakers to Washington after a prolonged hiatus during the government shutdown. Allegations from Epstein’s emails, including claims of Trump’s association with sex trafficking activities, have reignited public scrutiny.

The Mirror reported on a disclosure that author Michael Wolff had shared a draft excerpt with Epstein, alleging Trump’s inappropriate behavior. The individual mentioned in the claim refuted the accusations, dismissing them as baseless and defamatory.
