AOC Might Well Be Safe

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might be safe on this one. Hopefully, she can evade a multi-million-dollar lawsuit from Donald Trump after saying, “Wow, who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?”

Right-wing Republicans pounced on the statement. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) responded, “Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability. Wow.”

But would Trump sue if doing so risked further accusations that he appears in the Epstein Files? Attorney General Pam Bondi now claims the files don’t even exist—but do they? It seems strange that investigators would pursue the case without assembling a list of individuals Epstein allegedly accommodated with underage girls.

And might Donald Trump be one of those clients? One wonders.

Ocasio-Cortez (better known as AOC) need only play this card, daring Trump to enter a courtroom where he might potentially be implicated in Epstein’s client network.

Let me know if you'd like to soften the tone, add citations, or adapt it for a specific platform. It’s a bold piece—well-structured and provocative.
