The Epstein affair continues to rock the United States. Nineteen photos were released online last Friday by Democratic elected officials. They show Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell (currently incarcerated), Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the company of the convicted sex offender. These new images, released by Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee, are just a small portion of the more than 95,000 photos they received from the estate of Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. They are notably separate from the files that the Justice Department is now compelled to release. But impatience is growing as the Trump administration faces the December 19 deadline for producing the Epstein files, as well as new explosive revelations. On Tuesday, December 16, the American magazine Vanity Fair published an investigation based in part on a dozen interviews with Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff. The former campaign manager for the Republican billionaire believes, for example, that the former real estate mogul, scarred by the death of his alcoholic brother, "has the personality of an alcoholic"—she herself is the daughter of an alcoholic. He "operates with the conviction that nothing is impossible for him. Absolutely nothing." "Functional alcoholics, or alcoholics in general, have an amplified personality when they drink," she added. The 68-year-old advisor also takes a swipe at the vice president, claiming he has been "a believer in conspiracy theories for a decade," and at Elon Musk, who once headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), whom she calls destructive. Under pressure, the Trump camp is speaking out and trying to defuse the situation. Usually very discreet, Susie Wiles denounced the article as "dishonest." "She meant that I... You see, I don't drink alcohol." “Everyone knows this, but I’ve often said that if I drank, I’d have a good chance of becoming an alcoholic. I’ve said it many times,” Donald Trump declared. A few hours later, the US president announced on his Truth Social network that the United States was imposing a blockade on Venezuela against “oil tankers under sanctions,” a further escalation in the crisis between the two countries. Accused of creating a diversion by his opponents, the US president is expected to speak again this evening. Meanwhile, his adversaries are upping the ante. They claim to have even more disturbing photos as the moment of truth approaches. The authorities now have less than two days to release all unclassified documents related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and anyone else connected to the crimes they are accused of. This case has obsessed American public opinion for years and has inspired numerous conspiracy theories. So what do we know about the links between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein? Could this affair bring down the US president? Why is the MAGA movement tearing itself apart?
