 Saturday Afternoon News Updates - 12/20/25
By Ben Meiselas Donald Trump is having what can only be described as an awful Saturday, and the public can feel it in the silence. The president has effectively shut down press access, retreating to Mar-a-Lago after a brief, deranged, low-energy appearance in North Carolina before what he labeled a “rally.” He took no questions, offered no accountability, and then disappeared. This retreat comes as his administration faces mounting scrutiny over its handling of the Epstein files, which by law were required to be released in full. Instead, the Department of Justice has produced only a fraction of the records in its possession, and even that small slice is overwhelmingly redacted. Roughly 5 percent of the files were turned over, and of that, nearly everything is blacked out. This is blatant obstruction. And it gets worse. Among the materials briefly posted to the Department of Justice website was an image from Epstein’s home that included photographs of Donald Trump in a drawer in Epstein’s credenza. That image, identified as file 468 in the DOJ’s own index, was visible long enough for the public to notice. Then, without explanation, it vanished. The file numbering now skips directly over it, as if it never existed. Poof. Gone. Deleting a file after it has been produced is a serious act with legal implications. The law governing the Epstein records was explicit: all unclassified materials were to be released by a set deadline, with redactions permitted only to protect victims’ identities. There is no legal basis for erasing records because they are embarrassing or politically damaging to powerful men. Yet that is precisely the rationale the Trump administration has embraced. The Justice Department has taken the extraordinary position that the perpetrators named in the Epstein files are themselves “victims” who must be shielded from exposure. In other words, the men accused of participating in a sex trafficking network are being protected from reputational harm, while the public is denied the truth. The manipulation did not stop there. The administration was also caught inserting a decades-old, publicly available photograph of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein materials, with faces redacted to imply the presence of underage victims. In reality, the photo shows Ross with her own children at a fundraiser, entirely unrelated to Epstein. One of Ross’s children publicly identified themselves in the image. The implication was false, but the damage was intentional: confuse the public, muddy the waters, and redirect attention away from Trump. As the president sealed himself off from reporters, his grift op—I mean, political operation—continued unabated. Fundraising emails went out, urging supporters to donate money while the White House refused to answer basic questions about compliance with federal law. Even within Trump’s own political orbit, the backlash has been sharp. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly slammed the administration’s approach, citing the plain language of the statute. The law, she noted, explicitly prohibits withholding or redacting records due to embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including for government officials and public figures. That provision was designed for this exact moment. Conservative commentator Joe Walsh argued that the only plausible explanation for Trump’s willingness to absorb such a massive political hit is fear of what the files reveal about him personally. Meanwhile, right-wing media has largely looked away. While most outlets focused on the administration’s failure to release the Epstein files, Fox News filled airtime with trivial distractions, from viral animal clips to culture-war detours. This is not accidental. It is how propaganda works. Flood the zone with nonsense long enough to evade accountability. The stakes here extend beyond Epstein. This pattern of secrecy includes withheld military footage of alleged war crimes, unanswered questions about Trump’s own medical records, and a broader governing philosophy rooted in secrecy and cover-ups. We deserve sunlight. When that light is deliberately blocked, erased, or replaced with manufactured distractions, the damage is real. We’ll continue shining out light on the darkness of this administration, and with your help, our messages will continue to be spread far and wide. |
JUST A FEW - THERE ARE MANY MORE OUTRAGED BY THE COVER-UP: COMMENTS:
They’re drawing up articles of impeachment for Bondi soon. She appears to be oblivious to the seriousness of her actions, crimes.
They are “thinking about” filing them…depending on Spam Blondi's reaction to Right wing, MAGGAT online outrage. File them already…they are in contempt of Congress.
Is the strategy to take down Trump's underlings first, and then go after the isolated, demented King?
That is a viable strategy but they aren't taking down anyone by drawing up charges and sitting on them until...
Well, until Mikey Johnson, who is in charge, agrees to let them proceed. And I'm sure Mikey will say he "hasn't heard anything" about the Epstein files, as he's vying for the title of "most clueless person in politics, ever." All our dreams can't come true by waving a magic wand.
Acting on charges is not waving a magic wand. It is not really that simple.
At this point, any legislative accomplishments must be achieved by petition. Through this process, Democrats and Republicans MAY find out who can be relied upon to do what's best for the nation. If they cannot do that successfully, it will again be left to the voters to shake up the situation in November. But I've learned not to put too much faith in that process.
I predict that Mad Magas will replace Johnson before they dare to come after Trump, in relation to the Epstein File Failures. This is how they roll.
Do it
Every time another name drops from these files, the media treats it like a casting call instead of a crime scene. We’re supposed to believe the guy whose face keeps popping up next to Epstein was just an innocent bystander who photobombed his way through the 90s. Only in America do you fail upward from “buddy of a serial predator” to “leader of the free world” and get asked if we’re being too harsh. This shit is upside down. Let it all come out, no redactions, no spin, and let every powerful head that earned it roll in the sunlight.
Deranged Donny is the walking, talking epitome of the Peter Principle. He failed forward, into the WH, as the presumed leader of the world. TWICE. In fact he's like the Tasmania devil and destroys everything in his path. He’s truly a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.”
Yes. Fr. the description of his rally by Meidas, he's a demented old man who is 100% lost in his echo chamber now. Just preaching at his paid supporters, fellow criminals and sycophants.
That rally backup is looking more and more pitiful and bored. Do they come $50 a head now?
It has to ALL COME OUT
Yes, it does need to come out.
So basically they have said over and over that Trump didn’t do anything. Trump is a fucking pedophile, and is the potus.
Correct. And something NEEDS to be done like file an indictment on all of them. Crude creeps
Yes!! DO SOMETHING…don't just threaten…bullies don't respond to threats.
Thank you, Ben!
How do we redact Crooked Trump and Melania for good???
Make sure that the theatres are totally empty when the Melania movie is released!!!
BOYCOTT MELANIA MOVIE
BOYCOTT MELANIA MOVIE
Demented Donny needs to be gagged, restrained in a straight jacket and locked away in a cage, in solidarity confinement, with the YMCA song blaring 24/7. Think Hannibal Lecter whom he seems to idolize.
Melania? She’s restrained and contained in the cage next to him so she can hear him farting 24/7.
Melvania definitely deserves the Dutch Oven treatment!
MUST WATCH!
Laura Benanti returns to Tonight Show as Melania!!!!!
perfect
Thank you for all you are doing to expose this vile and corrupt president in every way on everything he is covering up.
What DOJ did to the Epstein files by all the redactions, only make them look more guilty. The American people are not stupid. Heads should roll for this travesty!
Ben, great job.
Every black line in a document is an admission of guilt.
my assumption is, that if it's redacted that it either has trump's name, or one of his buddies
You are absolutely correct!
Fact... America is basically a corrupt society ... sad.
Unfortunately, a democracy is open enough to give cover to bad people until, sometimes, it is too late! We still have time and the will to shine a light on their criminality!!
I beg to differ. Yes, America certainly has some reckoning to do, but I truly believe that the majority of Americans are decent, honest, good, kind people. MAGA is 30% and faltering.
Congress and judges need to be all over the lack of transparency in this corrupt administration.
My gut feeling tells me that AIPAC....those that are paid off.........would be in on the redaacion of the Epstein files. ........again.....the silence from Chuckles and Jeffries is deafening
If you notice that signature on the photo of Donald Trump,that's his birthday signature on the pedophilia card he said wasn't his....this man is the most corrupt imbecile in Human history.
Are any of us surprised by this? He and his administration need to be gone and as soon as possible. The tide seems to be changing. Maybe this can really happen?
So, NOW, it's, MUDDY those Epstein WATERS! Basically, another, NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS, move along, OKAY! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, EVERYONE in AMERICA 🇺🇸 POST THOSE PICTURES, EXPOSE, EVERYONE, Starting with POLITICIANS, including ANY Supreme Court Judges, Lawyers, Governors because hide the PEDOPHILES is ABSOLUTELY NOT WORKING for ALL THOSE VICTIMS!!
Yup, then blow up a boat, maybe Colombian one this time, and have Melania describe her joy after giving out a few 6-packs of Christmas bulbs to her publisher!!
Justice for all the victims and accountability for all those involved!
so embarrassing he still talks about giraffes and lions and these dumb assholes cheer this shit. Im so ashamed of a portion of the people in this country. Never in my life would I have ever imagined this country has such idiots.
Mindless Moron MAGGAT zombies. Sad excuse for humans
Michael Cohens conversation with Nina Burleigh is stunning. Thanks for showcasing Nina and her amazing work. MTN as always....is the cream that rises to the top. Will be watching that one again!!!
Looking forward to 2026 and more great things from MTN!!!!
Just a reminder. A quote given by Epstein during questioning by prosecutors.
In a 2010 deposition, Epstein was asked by an alleged minor sexual assault victim's attorney, "Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?" He replied, "Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir."
trump is without question a pedophile. It’s not Hyperbole, It’s not politics, It’s not conspiracy theory bs. It is a Fact. ((Don’t Like, Stack, SHARE IT))Read/Watch the Full video testimony/interview by Katie Johnson who was raped by both trump and epstein. Video 2016 She was 13yo. She also speaks of the rape and abuse of a 12yo victim Maria. Now there is the love letter between the pervs. Hmm. She was the first to share that fact and was ignored

There are probably ten people who saved, and/or downloaded that missing file 468 photo. In 2025, nothing is lost for long. People are learning how to CYA electronically. If someone noticed, someone has a copy. While it may be too much to hope that one of the Meidas Mighty was that someone, that photo still lives.
Nothing disappears forever in the Electronic Age. Take note, people. If you see something, save something. Then contact Ben or Michael, or any Meidas reporter. Share what you have. Let's keep it real. Let's keep the news available.
hanks Ben: If they can flash Clinton's photo , whats stopping them from flashing a few more photos of the other men. You know get a couple of the fellows on the message table or soaking their flabby pathetic bodies in a hot tub. Come on Donald , you thought you were real cool with the gals , Gods gift to women. Quit wasting the tax payers money on black ink, Don't send any more blacked out paper. Good God, the president tell the crown he aced three cognitive tests and they cheered. Its as if he escaped from the cracker factory in Melania's dress and the crowd just roars.
He is going after Colorado all based on the state NOT pardoning the election fraud
And Colorado's refusal to release Tina Peters. Nasty MAGGAT slag felon.
BOTTOM LINE: This was an INTERNATIONAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING OPERATION in which they KIDNAPPED CHILDREN, HELD THEM HOSTAGE WITH NO ESCAPE, CONFISCATED THEIR PASSPORTS.
It includes both JEFFREY EPSTEIN & GHISLAINE MAXWELL.
This was done by PERVERTED WEALTHY PEDOPHILES who got their 'SATISFACTION' by RAPING CHILDREN....One was 10 YEARS OLD!
WEALTHY PERVERTS contributed to this perversion by supporting EPSTEIN - isn't that what TRUMP'S check is for?
WE need to know WHO ELSE?
WE know that PUTIN has the TAPES...is it EXTORTION? BLACKMAIL?
This is NATIONAL SECURITY!
NEVER STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!
