This is a particularly troubling article by The Federalist that attempts to compare and downplay Donald Trump's well-known relationship with Jeffrey Epstein to the relationship between Epstein and Bill Clinton. Without any mention of Trump's campaign promises to release all information surrounding the financier and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, along with other files associated with the murder of JFK, The Federalist makes the ambitious claim that newly released information is a "Democrat hoax." Not all of the information in the article is unsubstantiated, though, as some claims about Trump and Epstein's falling out, and the complexity of their relationship, have been well-documented. The troubling aspect is the double-speak of the Republican party line, forcing the American public and Republican constituents to accept that a main pillar of Trump's campaign is now simply a Democrat hoax. The Federalist is right that Democrats have much to gain from researching Trump's ties to Epstein, and thus discrediting the administration, but comparing this to Epstein's relationship to Clinton is irrelevant. This is not an unbiased attempt at the truth concerning a hot topic; it is instead a collection of claims intended to demonstrate that Clinton and Epstein were better friends than Epstein and Trump, although this disproves none of the "hoax-like" claims made by Democrats. This could be interpreted as trying to win points against the opposite team rather than aiming at the truth.
