A familiar script. The admin orders the release of Epstein records on Thursday, then files a $20B lawsuit on Friday to silence reporting on its own Epstein ties. The plot twist is that there is no plot twist.

Judge Gayles had a front-row seat when Trump abandoned his Cohen suit just before being deposed. It’s a well-rehearsed tactic: sue media giants like ABC and CBS, secure settlements for a foundation, and use the threat of litigation to chill reporting. The $20B price tag is just the latest prop.

The curtain rarely falls on a verdict. It falls on a quiet settlement or a sudden withdrawal before discovery.
