‘Actually, I can’t answer that’: Epstein survivor looks panicked when asked about Trump involvement, suddenly clams up

After last night’s near-unanimous House vote to release the Epstein files, we may soon get some long-awaited answers as to who was caught up in his web of sin. But, frankly, you don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to be able to see the dozens of neon-lit arrows pointed straight at the Oval Office.

Donald Trump has done his best to ensure these files are never exposed to the public: dismissing them as a Democratic hoax, pressuring Republican lawmakers to vote against their release, and insulting anyone curious about which members of high society participated in Epstein’s child abuse.

Now, finally, it appears he’s run out of track and performed a U-turn, saying he actually wants them released after all. Whether he’ll use his veto and block that remains to be seen.

But, for a peek at what might be coming, take a look at this telling clip in which Jen Psaki interviews Epstein survivor Sharlene Rochard. Psaki asks her if she knows if Trump was aware of Epstein’s dealings:

Rochard visibly tenses up and stutters: “I-I don’t know if he was aware. Um. Actually, I can’t answer that. I’m sorry.”

Why can’t she answer?

The fact that she “can’t” answer that question has led many to surmise that Rochards is under a non-disclosure agreement that may cover Trump’s involvement with Epstein, legally preventing her from saying what she knows. Epstein was notorious for his extensive use of NDAs, and his death doesn’t release anyone under them, as his estate inherited his side of those contracts.

Ultimately, we’re still forced to interpret what’s going on by looking at the ripples in the water and the shadows cast on the wall. But, one way or another, we may get some concrete answers soon.

If Trump is indeed directly implicated in either knowing of Epstein’s massive abuse network or worse, there’s proof of him being physically involved, American voters are going to have to wonder just what kind of person they put in the White House.
