Swalwell makes a bold prediction about Republicans and the Epstein files..."bomb about to drop" [View all]

'Epstein bomb about to drop': Dem lawmaker claims House Republicans ready to abandon Trump

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-epstein-bomb-about-drop/

Rep. Eric Swalwell on Wednesday took to social media to make an interesting claim related to the disgraced financier, who has been a subject of conspiracy theories since the authorities said he had killed himself in prison.

Without being specific about what to what he was referring, the lawmaker claimed, "It’s coming to an end guys."

"I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading," he added. "As one told me, 'this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no want wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.'"

One popular influencer, Candidly Tiff replied with, "Gotta see it to believe it but I welcome it."
