Video: CNN’s Jake Tapper Pulls Out His Phone to Show How Much of the Epstein Files Were Redacted
You know, there’s nothing quite like watching CNN’s Jake Tapper try to play gotcha with the Trump administration, only to end up highlighting why the Epstein files are such a mess in the first place. During a segment on “The Lead” this week, Tapper pulled out his phone to show viewers a Justice Department-released document from the trove—100 pages, completely blacked out with redactions. “This is one of the documents that the Justice Department released. It’s a hundred pages,” Tapper said, holding up his screen. “This is what it looks like. I don’t know if you can see. It’s all black. It’s just 100 pages of redaction.”

It’s a stark visual of how much is still hidden, but Tapper’s indignation rings hollow when you remember the Biden years dragged their feet on this for ages. Trump’s DOJ finally forced the release, but the heavy redactions—likely to protect ongoing investigations or victims—have the left screaming “cover-up” like it’s Watergate 2.0.
This is the same media that hyped Epstein to smear Trump (despite his Mar-a-Lago ban on the guy), but when they had power, crickets on full disclosure. Trump’s pushing transparency, but the deep state’s still playing games, blacking out pages that could expose Clinton, Summers, and other Dem darlings. Tapper’s stunt? More deflection than journalism, proving CNN’s still the Clinton News Network.
Dems demand “truth,” but when it bites, they cry foul. Trump’s right: release it all, let the chips fall. This redacted mess? Biden’s legacy, Trump’s cleanup.
I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
