Critics Suggest Trump’s Iran Strikes Aim to Divert Attention from Epstein Files

US President Donald Trump faced criticism from figures like historian Peter Kuznick and Representative Thomas Massie, who suggest his recent military actions against Iran may be intended to divert public attention from controversies surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case and his low approval ratings. While Kuznick highlights diplomatic progress with Iran, Massie opposes the strikes as unauthorized and insists that foreign policy moves will not obscure ongoing demands for full release of Epstein-related documents, which include references to Trump and his wife.
