Why is Donald Trump avoiding the Epstein case at all costs?

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

The midterm elections campaign is in full swing in the United States, but Donald Trump is doing his utmost to avoid one subject: the Epstein Files. On January 30, the US Department of Justice published the court records relating to the Epstein case. At FRANCE 24, two of our journalists, Samia Metheni and Ava Luquet, delve into the 3 million documents to understand how Epstein's network operated. What did they find looking through the documents and what impact do they still have on Trump? Ava Luquet answered François Picard's questions.
