Karoline Leavitt defied the laws of moral physics to insist that the true wrongdoers were Biden and the Democrats

Donald Trump was described as “that dog that hasn’t barked” in email by Jeffrey Epstein. Don’t tell Kristi Noem, who has a way of dealing with troublesome hounds.

The US president would love nothing more than to let sleeping dogs lie, but that hope was dashed on Wednesday when Democrats released emails suggesting that Trump was aware of Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors and had spent hours with one victim.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who says a prayer before each briefing, was dispatched to the podium to defy the laws of moral physics by explaining why the true wrongdoers here were Joe Biden and the Democrats.
