Operation Epstein Distraction: illegal war distracts from files alleging Trump’s rape of girl

Donald Trump’s illegal war on Iran is distracting from new Epstein file revelations showing testimony from a child victim alleging Trump raped and sexually assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 years old. Trump’s farcically-named ‘Operation Epic Fury’ has been dubbed ‘Operation Epstein Distraction’ by disgusted service people and anti-war activists.

The latest evidence consists of three 2019 FBI interviews with a female Epstein victim who FBI alleges that Trump sexually and physically assaulted her as a young teenager after the serial child-rapist forced her to pander to Trump. Her main allegation is that the president orally raped her then beat her after she bit him in self-defence.

Trump’s allegations

The allegations are not new. A third party’s evidence of them was found in newly-released Epstein files in January 2023, but the Justice Department has now released additional FBI documents with the victim’s testimony, which had wrongly been marked as duplicates, supposedly because of their similarity to the other evidence. The victim reported that she and others close to her had received threatening calls for years demanding she keep quiet.

Even though the files released so far only amount to around 2% of the total, Trump appears thousands of times. In one witness submission, he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl who eventually became pregnant — then standing by as the girl’s uncle killed the baby and dumped its body from a bridge into a lake.

Analyst and former Israeli diplomat Shaiel ben-Ephraim told Al Jazeera that Trump’s ‘war as distraction’ tactic is working, at least for now:

[He] really needs a distraction from [Epstein and other domestic issues] in the form of a war. And if you look at searches on Google for the Epstein files, they’ve plummeted since this started. So, at least temporarily, it’s succeeding. It’s taking up Congress’s time and it’s taking up the media’s time.

Many believe that Trump agreed to Israel’s demand for war on Iran because Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu must have threatened him with the release of incriminating evidence during Netanyahu’s recent visit to Washington. Epstein was an Israeli spy whose apartment and presumably houses had Israeli cameras and recording equipment installed.

The ‘Epstein class’s first act in the war was to bomb a girls’ school, killing almost 170 children. Murdering children to distract from sex crimes against them. Trump, unsurprisingly, denies any wrongdoing.
