Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump Ties to Epstein (Gift Article)

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

Here's the NY Times story that Marisa Kabas (and many of us) found lacking. Healy suggests to Kabas that it was good enough that the story had a link to the House Democrats' report that included a new rape allegation against Trump. But why wasn't the allegation in the NYT story itself?

It is short and so I assume they are looking into things but it is... interesting... that the NYT piece on the new House Dems report on Trump ties to Epstein simply does not mention the brand new rape allegation and says whatever this is instead www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Here is the gift 🎁 article for others to read. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Unless I missed it, this has already fallen off the home page. I had to use the search function.

An NYT report that fails to meet even the simplest journalistic standards of disclosure. Why? Fear of retaliation from Trump. Shameful.

I found this article, but it doesn’t mention the rape allegation. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

This is how agenda setting and narrative work. Notice how the frame, in graf 4, shifts to "just eight days before Election Day". So instead a focus on the 50-page report, we get 6 grafs w/most of them tying report to Dems trying to win an election. Fascinating stuff! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Trump's Justice Department, with the help of Republicans in Congress, is hiding evidence of the President's crimes and ties to Epstein. When Democrats are back in charge, we'll use our power to launch real investigations of this corrupt Administration.

None? But I read about this in the New York Times two days ago, among other news outlets. When people yell about the news media not covering something, it usually takes five seconds to find stories. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/us/democrats-special-counsel-trump-epstein.html?searchResultPosition=1

Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump Ties to Epstein

Gotta retire the idea of an independent special counsel. By taking the job they would not be viewed as independent, they would be cheered on by one side and attacked by the other. Just a prosecutor. Any good prosecutor will do.

Not on the front page, but it's on the site: gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

The NYT had an article yesterday on it: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

I know, right? I had to do a search on NYT to find ANYTHING on it because it doesn't show up in their stories of the day. There was ONE story and THIS is how they word it???😳😡 (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Ahem. They *mentioned* it. Obliquely. “A new report written by Democratic staff aides on the Judiciary Committee accuses Mr. Trump of being “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women,” though it largely cites allegations that have already been public.”

Are there any other New York Times stories from this week that he would like to comment on while we're at it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

I know sex trafficking & rape aren't as important as email security & IT support decisions, but how is this buried as a horse-race election story rather than a full front-page series detailing the report, interviewing the accusers, and seeking comments from the GOP? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Be fair, Marisa. They *mentioned* it. Obliquely. “A new report written by Democratic staff aides on the Judiciary Committee accuses Mr. Trump of being “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women,” though it largely cites allegations that have already been public.“

She is alleging Trump RAPED her, not ties to Epstein. House Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump’s Ties to Epstein - The New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

They covered the report two days ago, in "Democrats call for..." form. I suspect they're working to independently contact the women making the allegations or otherwise directly source this to their satisfaction. But I guess we'll find out. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

I disagree, in this case. bsky.app/profile/bjke... Also, the NYT has an article on it (www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...) and I saw a post saying Raskin went on MSNOW to talk about it.

hey @patrickhealynyt.bsky.social you guys not allowed to call a president an accused rapist? Pathetic NYT BS again www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

What if I told you NYT hires more than one journalist, so they can cover *both* the vegemite beat and “the president is a rapist” beat www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

This is the NYT article: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u... ...definitely not featured prominently, and the "Trump actively participated" accusation isn't featured in the headline (it's in the article). I won't defend the NYT but I will say that "Not. At. All" is inaccurate
