Former Fox News Host Bill O’Reilly recently appeared in an interview with News Nation’s Chris Cuomo and O’Reilly claimed that President Donald Trump told him EXACTLY what the real story was with the Epstein files.
Cuomo asked O’Reilly what he thought about the Trump administration’s handling of the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein scandal thus far.
Many Americans on both sides of the aisle are understandably upset over the DOJ’s new claims that Jeffrey Epstein was not blackmailing anybody, there’s no client list, and that he killed himself. The complete 180 on the this reeks of a cover up.
O’Reilly, meanwhile, said that a couple of months back he spoke to President Trump about this very issue and got an answer.
The former Fox News host said, “I talked to President Trump, man-to-man, eye-to-eye, on St. Patrick’s Day about this. And he said, ‘There are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct.”
O’Reilly added, “They maybe had lunch with them or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another.”
“Those people are destroyed, because there’s not going to be any context. The media doesn’t care about context, so you can’t do that. You can’t destroy a human being by putting out the files, whatever they may be,” concluded O’Reilly.
Is this the real reason for the DOJ’s sudden 180 on this issue? Or is there more we’re not being told?
Watch the video here to see what O’Reilly had to say on the matter.
Bill O'Reilly says Trump told him he’s not releasing the Epstein files because a lot of people mentioned had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct and they would be destroyed in the media.
“The media doesn't care about context, so you can't do that.”
