Donald Trump’s outburst at Kaitlan Collins was more than a clash with a reporter; it exposed how volatile the Epstein question remains for him. Rather than address survivors, he attacked her smile, her integrity, and her network, trying to turn scrutiny of his record into a performance about “fake news” and media bias. Yet the images and documents now public tell a more stubborn story: Trump at Mar‑a‑Lago with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, a Justice Department he controls releasing millions of pages weeks late, and victims’ lawyers accusing the government of shielding the powerful.
As advocates demand the missing files and unredacted truth, Trump insists the country should “get on to something else.” But for women who reported abuse and were ignored, there is nowhere else to go. Their lives remain shaped by what was done to them – and what was quietly protected for years.
