James Carville Gives Fox News Viewers An Uncomfortable Reminder About Jeffrey Epstein

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville on Thursday reminded Fox News viewers of a name that’s rarely heard on the right-wing network: Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender who was once close with President Donald Trump.

“You know, everybody in the world is talking about Epstein, and Fox is still talking about Biden’s memory,” Carville said. “That’s so long ago I can’t even remember it.”

“Well, do you want to talk about Epstein?” Watters asked.

“I don’t mind talking about Epstein,” said Carville.

Carville and Watters resumed talking about the Bidens but returned to Epstein later in the segment.

“I wasn’t even going to bring Epstein up,” Watters said. “But because you did, do you, James Carville, a Clinton guy, think that the Democrats should be begging for the release of the Epstein files?”

Like Trump, former President Bill Clinton was also once close with Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes in 2008. He was arrested again in 2019 and died in custody later that year, apparently of suicide, while awaiting trial on allegations of trafficking underage girls and other charges.

Carville said he didn’t know what was in the files.

“I suspect that they’ll come out. I don’t know what they are, but the story is not going away,” he said. “That’s pretty clear. It’s just not going anywhere.”

Trump has been facing new questions over his ties to Epstein after the Justice Department said it would not release any new material related to the case despite Trump’s promises to do so.
