FOX NEWS MEMO: Leaked Epstein Files talking points instruct Republicans how to point blame away from Trump
DARVO TACTICS: A leaked memo that circulated through Congress Tuesday details talking points Republicans are expected to use when talking about the Epstein Files as a way to protect President Donald Trump.
The Memo seeks is conveying an image of a party resigned to the fact that those files will indeed be published on Friday and that their leader will be implicated in one of the most extensive international sex trafficking operations in recent history.
The memo, first published by Fox News, outlines how congressional Republicans should direct any discussion surrounding the contents of the Epstein Files away from Trump, and outlined a list of accusations to allege against journalists and Democratic lawmakers.
In essence, the memo gives step-by-step instructions on how to utilize a psychological manipulation tactic known as DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) in order to brush aside any alleged wrongdoing by the president, while villainizing his opposition and framing Trump as the victim.
“Democrats have demonstrated a sustained pattern of misconduct,” the memo reads.
“To fabricate yet another politically motivated hoax targeting President Trump. As a result, nothing Democrats post or leak on this matter can be taken at face value. Equally troubling, much of the Legacy Media has uncritically amplified these falsehoods, acting as a willing conduit rather than performing basic due diligence.”
Missing from the document are any points that refute the accuracy or legitimacy of the actual contents of the Epstein Files, or any calls for accountability for the alleged co-conspirators.
Instead, Republicans have been given marching orders to endlessly litigate to the press how the information has been released — and then attack the press for not sugarcoating the contents of the files.
THE BLAME GAME PLAYBOOK:
Republicans have chosen three Democrats to attack in the next phase of the Epstein scandal: US Reps. Stacey Plaskett, Yassamin Ansari, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
While none of them enjoyed a decades-long friendship and business relationship with Epstein, as Trump did, the memo directs Republicans to redirect any question surrounding Trump’s extensive background with Epstein into a criticism of the trio’s limited interactions.
In each accusation, the veneer of credibility is flimsy.
Plaskett, a former public prosecutor and current representative for the US Virgin Islands, exchanged text messages with Epstein during a 2019 congressional investigation into Trump.
Plaskett said that the national spotlight from the hearing brought all sorts of people out of the woodwork who reached out to her, and she responded to Epstein and others as a way to gather evidence.
Ansari, a freshman member of Congress who has positioned herself as a vocal and effective critic of the Trump administration, posted a photo from the investigation with several women’s faces redacted.
In an attempt to protect Trump and discredit his accusers, Republicans have attacked Ansari for sharing it.
With the accusations against Jeffries, Republican staffers are really grasping at straws.
In 2013, a fundraising firm used by Jeffries sent a solicitation email to Epstein.
There is no record of Jeffries corresponding directly with Epstein, and Epstein never donated to Jeffries’ campaign.

MORE ON THE EPSTEIN FILES DEADLINE: What DOJ is required to release, and what could be withheld...
A NEW FEDERAL TRANSPARENCY LAW: Sets a Friday deadline for the Justice Department to release nearly all unclassified records tied to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, with limited exemptions for victims, child sexual abuse material, and active investigations.
NEW PUBLIC RECORDS: The long-awaited release is expected to include investigative records dating back to the Florida-based inquiry that began in 2005 and ran through Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, along with materials connected to the 2019 federal case in New York and the prosecution of Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LIMITATIONS: The law allows limited categories of information to be withheld or redacted, including:
>>> Information that could identify or invade the privacy of victims
>>> Materials depicting child sexual abuse
>>> Information that could jeopardize an active federal investigation, though any withholding must be temporary and narrowly tailored
One question drawing intense attention is whether President Trump will appear in the released records....

BUT, BUT, BUT... Reporters Are Waiting For The Bombshells That Might Be In The Second Release Required Under The New Epstein Transparency Law.
HAPPY NEW YEAR: The government is also required to provide a summary explaining all Epstein Files redactions, and within 15 days, a full list of all government officials and politically exposed persons who are named or referred to in the materials.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING: As stated above, the main release of the Epstein files, as mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed into law on November 19, 2025, is due by December 19, 2025. The 15-day deadline for the subsequent summary and list would therefore fall in early January 2026....

Currently, the government has not yet provided the summary or the full list, because the main file release has not yet occurred.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently coordinating the release of the massive trove of documents, with some judges recently ordering grand jury materials to be unsealed in accordance with the new law.

It remains to be seen how the DOJ will manage the release, as an ongoing investigation ordered by Attorney General Pam Bondi into some of Epstein's associates could provide grounds to temporarily withhold some material.
