Republican Mike Collins Believes Trump is in Epstein Files, Leaked Recording Reveals

Republican Congressman's Hot Mic Moment

• 🎤 Mike Collins, a Republican running for Senate in Georgia, was caught on a hot mic expressing his belief that Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files.
• 🗣️ Collins stated he believes Trump is in the files because he was the one who informed the FBI about Epstein and had previously barred him from Mar-a-Lago.
• ⚖️ He also voiced support for releasing the Epstein files, acknowledging that judicial processes could slow down the release.

Media Blackout and Political Cover-Up

• 📰 The discussion highlights a perceived blackout in right-wing media regarding the Epstein files, contrasting it with coverage of less significant topics.
• 🎯 The hosts criticize the selective reporting by right-wing media, suggesting they act as unpaid employees of the Trump campaign, prioritizing tribal loyalty over journalistic integrity.
• 🤥 The narrative that Trump informed the FBI is dismissed as ridiculous, with the hosts asserting Trump's inclusion in the files stems from his long-standing friendship with Epstein.

Public Perception and Political Fallout

• 📉 While some believe Trump's handling of the case has been poor, a significant portion of the public (18%) reportedly views his handling as excellent, a sentiment the hosts find baffling.
• 🤷 The lack of transparency, including the non-release of documents and Trump's silence on victims or Maxwell/Epstein, is noted.
• ⏳ It's suggested that the full truth about the Epstein files may take years to emerge, impacting not only Trump but potentially other political figures.
• 🗳️ The possibility of using Collins's statement against him or other Republicans in future elections is raised as a potential avenue for political impact.
