Gavin Newsom drops Christmas troll of Trump with video mocking Epstein files redactions

Source: Independent

The governor rounded off a year of mocking the president by posting a short video that showed pages and pages of redactions in the files in the late convicted sex offender’s case, cut with footage of Trump speaking with Epstein in the early 90s.

“2025: REDACTED,” Newsom posted on his X account alongside the 20-second clip, which opened with a voiceover that said: “And with that, the 2025 season comes to an end. Goodnight.”

The footage played over the 2009 Mumford & Sons hit White Blank Page.

Newsom’s video then showed a grainy image of Trump inside Epstein’s desk that was initially published by the Justice Department on December 19, the deadline set by Congress to release all of the files.

but the new meaning of ‘drop’ causes momentary confusion. At first glance I thought Gavin Newsom was giving his trollery of rumpus a rest in honor of Christmas. Good to see relentless pressure.
