YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump has touched down in Scotland on Friday evening. Despite making lengthy remarks as he left the White House, Trump spoke again to reporters at the Glasgow airport and was quizzed again about the Jeffrey Epstein case and whether he would pardon the disgraced financier's imprisoned accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
It is an example of how the Epstein saga — and his administration's disjointed approach to it — has shadowed Trump when he's otherwise at the height of his influence. He's enacted a vast legislative agenda, reached trade deals with key countries and tightened his grip across the federal government. Yet he's struggled to stamp out the embers of a political crisis that could become a full-on conflagration.
Trump has repeatedly denied prior knowledge of Epstein's crimes and claimed he cut off their relationship long ago. For a president skilled at manipulating the media and controlling the Republican Party, it has been the most challenging test of his ability to shift the conversation in his second term.
Landing in Scotland offered no refuge for Trump. He faced another round of questions after stepping off Air Force One. “You’re making a big thing over something that’s not a big thing,” he said to one reporter. He told another, “I’m focused on making deals, not on conspiracy theories that you are.”
