I can't find any - just wishy washy statements that imply maybe. So I'm curious why everyone is saying he ran on exposing it?
From Grok:
June 2024 - Fox News Interview: In an interview on Fox & Friends Weekend, Trump was asked if he would declassify the Epstein files if elected. He responded, "Yeah, I would. I guess I would," but added a qualification: "I think that less so because you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there, because there’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole world." This indicates a conditional willingness to release the files, with concerns about potentially inaccurate information.
September 3, 2024 - Lex Fridman Podcast: During an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, Trump addressed the question of why a so-called "list of clients" who visited Epstein’s private island had not been made public. He responded, "It’s very interesting, isn’t it? It probably will be, by the way, probably," and added, "I’d certainly take a look at it" and "I’d have no problem with it." This suggests he was open to releasing Epstein-related documents if elected.
June 2, 2024 - Social Media Claims: A post on X by @IanJaeger29 claimed, "BREAKING: Donald Trump says he will officially declassify all Epstein Files if elected President," accompanied by a video. While this post reflects public sentiment and reporting at the time, it is not a direct quote from Trump but indicates the narrative circulating among supporters based on his broader comments about transparency. *** Here is the post - it doesn't provide real evidence: https://t.co/7ERdQOTu5U
September 4, 2024 - The Telegraph Report: The Telegraph reported Trump stating he would have "no problem" releasing more Epstein-related files if he returned to the White House. When pressed on the "list of clients" for Epstein’s island, Trump said, "It probably will be," reinforcing his openness to declassification. This was echoed in posts on X, such as one by @Fxhedgers , which cited The Telegraph article.
October 22, 2024 - JD Vance Statement: Then-Senator JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, stated on Theo Von’s podcast, "Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list," aligning with the campaign’s broader rhetoric about transparency in the Epstein case. While not a direct quote from Trump, it reflects the stance of his campaign team. *** this is Vance - not Trump
From ChatGPT:
I couldn’t find a credible public statement from Trump during the 2024 campaign (before Election Day) explicitly promising to declassify the Epstein client list. Most documented claims appear after July 2025 or without date-stamping to confirm they were made before November 2024. The best policy is to say:
There’s no on-the-record evidence from before Election Day 2024 showing Trump explicitly made that promise.
Certainly, speculation and public expectations existed, and right-wing figures urged it, but none of the statements I’ve found (e.g., Bondi’s “on my desk” comment in February 2025, or references to campaign promises unsourced by date) clearly date back to before November 2024.
So, to be accurate: There isn’t verifiable documented proof from the 2024 campaign period before Election Day.
It's official on Truth!

I had it in my head that Diddy was the October surprise but that happened in September. Did I miss the surprise? Damn it - I should have been watching closer.
I mean we all know why that is but wouldn't you think they would try to plant a few that favor the other direction so it isn't so obvious?
I'm trying to figure out which is the safer bet to make sure my vote gets counted. Mail my ballot back or find a drop box - at like City Hall or some official municipality? I don't really trust USPS so maybe I know the answer.
I know, I know - it's better to vote in person but I don't trust Maricopa County with in person right now either.

Being in marketing myself, I can recognize a hook when I see one. I like the videos but I'm not sure they are anything more than marketing to sell her new book. I'm skeptical. Thoughts?
