Biden Insider Blasts ‘Disgusting’ Trump Letter ‘Outing’ Jeffrey Epstein Relationship in Newly-Released Video Testimony

Former senior Biden aide Andrew Bates hammered President Donald Trump over a “disgusting” letter he said “outed” the nature of Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in newly-released video testimony.

Bates was interviewed by the House Oversight Committee in September to testify for a Republican-led probe into former President Joe Biden’s health and mental fitness.

As he left the closed-door hearing, Bates turned the tables on reporters who peppered him with questions about Biden by telling them “I want to know why Ghislaine Maxwell is in a minimum security prison.”

On Tuesday, the committee released transcripts and video of the interviews, and as it turns out Bates used a similar tactic while being questioned by Chief Counsel For Investigations Jake Greenberg.

When Bates was asked if he had ever “threatened” a reporter’s access, he and his attorney, Stephen Jonas, attacked Trump in their responses.

Jonas brought up Trump’s ban on the Associated Press, and Bates referenced Trump’s lawsuit over the cryptic birthday note that Trump insisted did not exist, then denied writing after it was produced by the Epstein estate:

Q. Have you ever threatened a journalist or an editor with future access to admin officials?

Mr. Jonas. Like the AP maybe?

Mr. Greenberg. I’m sorry?

Mr. Jonas. Like the AP maybe. Sorry.

Mr. Greenberg. Would you like an interview, counsel?

Mr. Jonas. No, you can talk to your colleagues about the AP and the press pool.

But go ahead?

Mr. Bates. I do think that is a fair point when the current President is suing The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Greenberg. I’m asking you about you, sir.

Mr. Bates. No, I know. I know. But I think that, if the current President is suing The Wall Street Journal for outing his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein —

Mr. Greenberg. Once again, sir, I would ask you to —

Mr. Jonas. You may not like his answer but let him finish.

Mr. Greenberg. I would ask that he answer my question.

Mr. Jonas. Finish your answer.

Mr. Bates. The current President is suing The Wall Street Journal because they detailed that he wrote a disgusting letter to Jeffrey Epstein that said “may every day be another beautiful secret.”

And I do not think that anything I have ever done in my life could come remotely close to how unethical that is.
