Former U.S. Lawyer Joyce Vance on Wednesday argued that President Donald Trump “may not outlast” his administration’s saga with late convicted intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Vance — in a submit titled “But His Emails…” on her SubStack — weighed in on the bombshell Epstein emails mentioning Trump, together with one message Epstein despatched to his confederate Ghislaine Maxwell the place he described Trump spending “hours at my house” with somebody whose identify is redacted as “VICTIM.”
“Given everything we know about Donald Trump, everything he himself has said about girls and women, it’s hard to envision what innocent behavior he would have been engaged in for ‘hours’ spent with a victim of abuse at the scene of the crime — Epstein’s home, where sexual abuse was rampant,” she wrote.
Because the Home prepares to vote subsequent week on releasing information tied to Epstein, Vance burdened that the White Home is “doing everything it can to prevent” it regardless of the president’s promise to launch the information on the marketing campaign path.
“Transparency means releasing the files. Not conducting interviews with someone who wants a pardon or selectively releasing only the documents that do you the least damage,” wrote Vance in a reference to Maxwell’s interview with the Justice Division and the paperwork Republicans have dropped up to now.

She went on to query whether or not Trump’s “McCarthy moment” is “finally coming,” referring to Sen. Joseph McCarthy, whose “red scare tactics held the country hostage and came close to destroying the First Amendment.”
McCarthy — in hearings with the U.S. Military within the mid-Nineteen Fifties — was famously confronted by U.S. Military chief counsel Joseph N. Welch, who requested him, “Have you no decency?” in remarks that dealt a notable blow to the senator.
“That moment burst McCarthy’s bubble. We could, finally, be close,” Vance wrote.
“Trump has survived other moments like this, where he turned his glaring racism and misogyny into bonus points with his base. But he may not outlast the Epstein Files controversy.”
