Ranking Member Garcia and @OversightDems have spent months pushing a LIE against President Trump.
🧵 Here are the receipts they don't want you to see:
Ranking Member Garcia and @OversightDems have spent months pushing a LIE against President Trump.
🧵 Here are the receipts they don't want you to see:
1/ Acosta NEVER talked to Trump about Epstein.
Not in person. Not on the phone. Not over email.
"He moved in circles that I did not move in." (p. 65)
That's straight from his testimony.

2/ Trump's name? Did not appear in the case. (p. 129)
"I have no knowledge of Donald Trump's name appearing in any Epstein document ... (or) being associated with the Epstein investigation in any way."
"If there was, it's pretty spectacular it hasn't leaked by now." (p. 130)

"If there was, it's pretty spectacular it hasn't leaked by now." (p. 130)
3/ Did Trump appoint Acosta because of Epstein? No.
"Not in the least bit, no." (p. 124)
Did Trump ask Acosta to resign? No.
"[It] was my choice. It was not suggested by anyone at the White House that I resign." (p. 124)
This entire talking point was fabricated by Democrats.

4/ Why did Acosta resign?
"If you become a distraction, then it's not appropriate for you to serve in these jobs. ... I did not want to be a distraction to his administration, and I chose to resign." (p. 125)
The media and Democrats said he was forced out. Another lie.

The media and Democrats said he was forced out. Another lie.
5/ What about Epstein's sweetheart deal?
"We had an ASSURANCE that he would be in continuous confinement." (p. 44)
"And had we known that he was going to get work release, this WOULD NOT have gone forward." (p. 156)
Palm Beach betrayed that deal, and Epstein walked.

Palm Beach betrayed that deal, and Epstein walked.
6/ According to Acosta, the plea deal was about getting Epstein IN JAIL when a trial risked letting him off completely.
"The trial was a crapshoot, and we just wanted the guy to go to jail." (p. 26)
Democrats knew this and lied anyway.

7/ The bottom line:
❌ No contact between Trump and Acosta
❌ No link between Trump and Epstein in the case
Democrats are once again using a tragic situation to try to score political points at the expense of the victims.
