Clinton guru has grim news for Trump: Epstein scandal will haunt him forever

Political commentator and strategist James Carville says the Epstein files scandal is not ever going to go away.

"It's never gonna go away, and if you think about it, it can't go away," Carville told to Al Hunt on their Politicon podcast.

"What do you have?" he continued. "You have a really rich guy, filthy rich ... with a glamorous woman who's harvesting young women around the world. You got princes, and Ivy League professors, and politicians, and bankers, and sports organizers, and didn't get all of that. And then you got a dead body."

"And then you got secrecy everywhere, and it's not going away 30 years from now. They're gonna still be digging through that stuff. They lied about everything," Carville said.

"There's nothing you can say to make this go away," he continued. "And there's so much s — — we don't know."

"You know, I didn't — I must say, six months ago, I did not think that the Epstein issue would still be with us, and certainly not with us through the 2026 campaign," Hunt said. "I was wrong."

"There are three reasons it's not going away. Number one, the dissembling, by the White House, and its subsidiary, the Justice Department — there clearly is a cover up of some stuff," he added.

"Two, Ro Khanna, a liberal Democrat, and Tom Massey, a conservative Republican, are leading the fight for full exposure. They have proven to be bulldogs, and they won't give up," Hunt said.

He added that the third reason the Epstein files are here to stay "is those victims, the women who have courageously spoken up against the sexual abuse trafficking of Epstein and his accomplice, Maxwell, won't be silenced until the Justice Department ends this limited hangout approach."

Hunt also pointed to "a headline in Wednesday's Washington Post, quote, Epstein fallout rattles the globe. Many powerful people face consequences," which he noted was "true in every place but the Trump administration."
