Hunter Biden believes Donald Trump is hiding something by not releasing Epstein files

Source: The Independent

Saturday 25 October 2025 16:30 EDT


The Trump administration is seeking to keep damaging information in the Epstein files from reaching the public, according to former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

During an interview this week on Substack with journalist Tommy Christopher, Biden said he had “no insider information whatsoever” to support his theory, but believed it was “silly” to think the administration wasn’t running political cover of some kind.

“The simplest explanation in this instance seems to be, whether its about him or whether its people that he is protecting, is that they’re clearly not releasing what they’re not releasing to protect someone,” Biden said when asked about the administration’s reticence to release more materials related to the late sex criminal and former Trump friend.

“All of his supporters have gone from calling it the biggest cover-up in the history of the world to a Democratic hoax!” he added elsewhere in the interview.

and this wouldn't have either.

He is running a cult and nothing would have broken through to them - in some cases, even if they had severe economic consequences inflicted on them.

Perhaps he lost a point or two in 2016 from indies. We'll never know.

It's not as well-known as it should be (of course) - but credible witness testimony placed Needy Amin in the "company" of two 12 year-olds at Epstein's New York townhouse. Naked.

There's no doubt in my mind, that even if videotape evidence were to come out of the very thing - most of his voters would justify it.

Cheeto's women voters would say that "he's like King David."

And his male voters - well, you can imagine.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they were working together. Epstein gets the dirt and tdump leverages it for whatever he wants while providing cover for Epstein.

it's so obvious. they shut down the government and refuse to swear in a duly elected representative and have thrown a dizzying assortment of outrages at us to keep the truth from coming out.
it's already been in the public record for years that krasnov brutally raped a 13-year-old girl. i think the files must reveal that not only was he a customer, he was probably a partner in the entire sordid business.

"If Trump was in the files, then Democrats would have released them, but they're protecting other Democrats."

So I ask why Trump doesn't release them now, to hold those Democrats accountable.

Then they call me a cuck and accuse me of TDS.

Just kidding of course, and it's always good to hear another dissenting voice calling out our naked king.

Hunter Biden STFD and STFU. While I sympathize with his myriad issues, he is a distraction from the real target.
