Don Lemon 0:00
Just when you thought the Epstein story couldn't get any more disturbing, somehow it does. There's some new reporting out and it's really raising serious questions, not just about Donald Trump's long documented relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but about what was allegedly happening behind the scenes Inside the White House, this is palace intrigue. The White House reportedly scrambling to contain the fallout. That's according to multiple accounts. People who are close to this administration, they said that they weren't just trying to understand the facts. They were reportedly looking for ways to protect Donald Trump from them. Watch this.

This article reveals months of reporting that not only did the White House know that Donald Trump was in the Epstein files, but that they spent months in the Situation Room with his staff, the vice president, the chief of staff, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanch, Kash Patel, his communications staff, basically everything. day-to-day in crisis mode trying to figure out how to stop the release of the files, how to navigate the public outrage over it, and basically how to break the law.
Don Lemon 1:09
And what is... That is Representative Melanie Stansbury. She's breaking down the reporting there. Trump's Watergate? This is about how the corruption and the cover-up all happens about powerful people using the machinery of government to protect themselves instead of serving the public. Now, according to this reporting, officials were searching for ways to exonerate the president rather than following the evidence wherever it leads. Americans deserve answers. They deserve transparency. And then let's talk about the vice president, J.D. Vance. Roll this. This is Robert Garcia.
Robert Garcia 1:41
There's been now new bombshell reporting where we have learned, as you know, that J.D. Vance, the vice president, has been holding meetings in the Situation Room, which is used for national security purposes just to discuss Epstein and looking at ways of exonerating President Trump, coming up with strategy on how they're going to use Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump's name. And the vice president, for the very first time, is now implicated in part of this cover-up. He's meeting with Suzy Wiles. He's meeting with Kash Patel. He's meeting with Todd Blanch. He's meeting with Pam Bondi. And so it is now important that we, at some point, this committee has to talk to the vice president. We have to talk to Suzy Wiles.
Robert Garcia 2:22
And none of us before this reporting yesterday had any idea that the vice president of the United States is holding situation room meetings to talk about Epstein Files strategy and involved in this massive cover up.

How did White House officials reportedly respond behind the scenes to the Epstein files?

Don Lemon 2:37
So this is Robert Garcia and he's talking about J.D. Vance holding meetings looking for ways to exonerate the president. And because if these reports are accurate, why were so some of the most powerful people in government reportedly involved in discussions centered around shielding just one man? So This is not about partisan politics. It's about whether the rules apply equally to everyone or whether there's one system for the powerful and another one for everybody else. Now, we've got to address the details that have completely overtaken the internet. They're salacious. They get people's interest, but we got to talk about it because somehow in the middle of an already shocking story involving Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, we've arrived at the place where social media has dubbed nipple gate.
