Donald Trump is in panic mode this morning with the discharge petition to release the Epstein files about to get its 218th signature from Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva from Arizona's 7th congressional district. who will be sworn in right now to become the official Congresswoman from Arizona's 7th Congressional District.
Not only Trump panicking, MAGA Mike panicking, all of MAGA Republican leadership is freaking out this morning, and their freakout is compounded by the Democratic House Oversight Committee leaders, led by ranking member Robert Garcia, releasing those additional emails they uncovered from the Epstein estate. Some date back to 2011, where Jeffrey Epstein was emailing Ghislaine Maxwell
saying that Donald Trump is basically the dog that hasn't quote barked yet. And he had been out the house with a victim and knew what was going down. It seems there were also other emails released where Epstein referred to Donald Trump as a very dirty guy who has done very dirty things or words to that effect. I'll go through that in a moment, but Donald Trump's been frantically on the phone.
He's been calling Lauren Boebert, MAGA Republican Congresswoman from Colorado. He's been calling Nancy Mace, MAGA Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina. And according to all the reporting, he's been saying, please, please take your name off the discharge petition. Please, you can't be on that. We can't have these files getting out. He's tried threats. He's tried charm.
He's tried everything. He's called an emergency meeting, folks, in the White House where he said, Boebert, why don't you come to the White House and let's all have a meeting together. From CNN, exclusive, Trump administration plans meeting over House effort to force release of Epstein files.
The top Trump administration officials, he's calling all the top people from Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, FBI Director Kash Patel, Lauren Boebert come in as well, and lots of other cabinet officials. We need to meet. This is a three alarm fire. This is an emergency. We're all meeting in the White House.
Unclear what has taken place from that meeting, but this is clearly terrifying the Trump regime. MAGA Mike Johnson came out with a statement. He goes, this is another publicity stunt by the Democrats. They're trying to mislead the people.
He's referring to the release of those emails between Epstein and Ghislaine and Epstein and Michael Wolff, the author who we've had here on the Midas Touch Network before. He goes, I'll refer you to the oversight committee response by the Republicans. And they say this is a bunch of cherry-picked emails. This is all about clickbait and that Democrats are not being serious about it.
But Johnson downplaying the release of these emails. From the White House press secretary, she goes... Caroline Leavitt, chief propagandist. She goes, the Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump is what she's saying. And then Congress member Garcia, the Democratic ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.
