‘Take a look at that and stop talking about nonsense’ – Trump’s latest Epstein Files deflection sees him accuse Barack Obama of treason
Despite Speaker Maga Mike Johnson closing Congress early specifically to avoid having to vote on releasing the Epstein Files, Donald Trump is still trying to handle the issue with some good old-fashioned deflection.

Being uncharacteristically honest about a health problem,
Rambling about his uncle’s non-existent connection to the Unabomber,
Trying to force the Washington Commanders to restore the racial slur to their team name ,
Claiming to have persuaded Coca-cola to change its US recipe.
And all in the service of distracting the American public and press from his already confirmed appearance in the Epstein Files.
His latest attempt to turn down the Epstein heat steps it up several gears with a full-on assault on Barack Obama, accusing him of attempting to rig the 2016 election, then successfully rigging the 2020 election – an act Trump describes as treason. Meet the final boss of projection.
Trump: "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, Comey, Clapper. They tried to rig an election and they got caught.

Barack Obama broke with his usual habit of ignoring the ramblings of the felon in the White House, and the statement put out on his behalf covers it.

He wasn’t the only person calling BS, of course. Here’s how Twitter has been reacting.

The current president of the United States accuses a previous president of sedition, and the response from the media world is largely a shrug, because it's just another Tuesday in terms of wild, baseless claims. https://t.co/HDVRvnmuWq

So they rigged it while you were in power. But then weren’t able to rig it when they were in power themselves?

Trump is now accusing Obama of leading a coup, and says he’s guilty of treason. Not a single shred of evidence. The Epstein files must be REALLY BAD for Trump.

Love for someone to explain how Obama couldn’t rig ‘16 when he was POTUS but could rig ‘20 when Trump was in the White House. https://t.co/vSFQDTjOBR

LOOK OVER THERE – DON’T LOOK AT THE EPSTEIN FILES (updated)
“It’s a hoax”
“Innocent people could have their reputations damaged”
“It’s Obama & Biden”
“It’s Comey & the deep state”
“It’s WSJ & Murdoch”
“Bring back the Redskins”
“Obama is guilty of treason”

This is a lie. And if he's confused, the President should ask @SecRubio, who helped lead the bipartisan Senate investigation that unanimously concluded that there was no evidence of politicization in the intelligence community's behavior around the 2016 election. https://t.co/EAwKY9HimY
