President was called to an emergency meeting at the White House yesterday (November 12).
The Donald Trump administration held an emergency meeting at the White House earlier yesterday, announced by press secretary Karoline Leavitt during a conference.
The POTUS President was ushered to the Situation Room for the urgent meeting – an intelligence management complex on the ground floor of the West Wing.
The Situation Room is used for crisis management and intelligence briefings to provide the President with updates.
It also serves as a secure communication hub for national security matters.
However, it seems yesterday’s meeting was unprecedented.
Leaked Epstein files
It comes after US lawmakers released more than 20,000 pages of documents belonging to convicted s** offender Jeffrey Epstein, including some that discuss Trump.
The connection between the President and the s** abuser has long been rumored, in spite of Trump claiming that he never visited Epstein’s private island, nor flew on his private plane.
Yet, flight logs show that Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times from 1993 to 1997.
However what’s clear is that the two were in one another’s company on multiple occasions – as photographed.
Also caught up in the scandal is former prince Andrew, who recently gave up his royal titles after a discussion with his brother, King Charles.
Virginia Giuffre, who worked for Epstein, claimed that Andrew s**ually assaulted her when she was a minor (17 years old), in many locations, including New York and London.
She tragically took her own life earlier this year.
In spite of vehemently denying all the allegations, and claiming he had never met Giuffre despite a picture of the two existing, Andrew paid her an ‘undisclosed sum’ to settle the lawsuit in 2022.
Reports suggest that the figure was in the region of $16 million.
It’s known that Trump and Epstein were in the same elite social circles during the 90s and early 00s, with the current President famously describing Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine interview as a ‘terrific guy.’
Also, Trump noted that the s** offender (not yet convicted at the time of the interview) was a man who ‘likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.’
Emergency meeting
The Trump administration held the emergency meeting Wednesday regarding efforts to release Department of Justice files on Epstein.
Announcing the meeting during a conference, press secretary Leavitt said: “Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?”
“I’m not going to detail conversations that took place in the Situation Room.”, she added.
It’s been reported that Rep. Lauren Boebert was present in the Situation Room meeting, who has demanded that the Justice Department release the Epstein files, and has previously backed a petition to force a vote for their release.
Some of the documents released yesterday disclose that Epstein referenced Trump by name on multiple occasions in private emails during the final 15 years of his life.
In one email, Epstein claimed that Trump had spent a lot of time with a woman whom Democrats on the Oversight Committee (who released the files) said was allegedly linked to Epstein’s trafficking operation.
The President has denied all allegations.
