President Donald Trump is facing accusations of intentionally using a military flyover to overshadow Epstein victims during an event held on Wednesday to welcome Poland’s new president to the White House.
A White House spokesperson quickly slammed the assertion as ‘ridiculous’ to the Daily Mail.
On that morning, Polish President Karol Nawrocki was received by Trump at the South Portico, and the occasion was marked by two consecutive flyovers. These consisted of F-35s and F-16s performing a ‘missing man’ formation.
The tribute was dedicated to Polish Air Force pilot Maciej ‘Slab’ Krakowian, who died recently in a crash during an air show in Poland, according to the White House.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, victims of the serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein gathered at a press conference on Capitol Hill. They urged Congress to support a bipartisan bill requiring the Department of Justice to disclose additional Epstein files.
During the event, Epstein victim Anouska De Georgiou expressed her thoughts on Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a more comfortable prison just as the first set of jets roared overhead.
‘This woman abused children,’ De Georgiou said.
She then paused until the roar of the fighter jets calmed down.
Anouska De Georgiou, an Epstein victim, gestured towards the sky as the press conference on Capitol Hill was interrupted by the flyover marking the Polish president’s White House arrival.
Four F-35s flew over Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning as part of a greeting ceremony for Polish President Karol Nawrocki. The flyover was planned after a well known Polish pilot was killed in a crash at an air show last week
‘I was abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for over 10 years,’ she continued. ‘Ghislaine Maxwell was present for some of my abuse.’
A reporter then asked another victim, Chauntae Davies, about her claim that Epstein boasted about his relationship with Trump.
‘Yes, I did say that,’ Davies said.
She then paused for the second portion of the military flyover.
‘Jeffrey and Ghislaine were always very boastful about their friends, their famous and powerful friends. And his biggest brag, forever, was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump,’ Davies said.
The sounds of the fighter jets lingered as she made the statement.
When Trump was asked about the congressional push to release more Epstein files on Wednesday in the Oval Office alongside Nawrocki he bristled.
‘They’re trying to get people to talk about something that’s totally irrelevant to the success we’ve had as a nation since I’ve been president,’ Trump complained, calling it a ‘Democrat hoax.’

Online critics of Trump started pushing that the flyover was a deliberate attempt to silence the accusers.
‘He’s so terrified of the victims’ voices, he ordered a military flyover to silence them. LET THAT SINK IN, Y’ALL,’ X user @thetrueshelby wrote.
‘Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill,’ said Charlotte Clymer, a D.C.-based military veteran and prominent LGBTQ activist.
The account @BreakingNews4X pointed out the timing ahead of the flyover.
‘The Epstein Victims press conference is scheduled for 10:30 Eastern in DC today. Trump has suddenly scheduled a flyover of the White House for 11:00 am Eastern,’ the post said. ‘The last flyover happened during Fourth of July celebrations. They are very loud.’
That attracted the attention of Republican Mike Crispi, a Trump delegate from New Jersey.
‘The Left is DERANGED,’ he wrote on X. ‘They say that Trump is attempting to “intimidate” the Epstein survivors by having a military flyover. Flyover was planned weeks in advance for the visiting President of Poland. Trump has nothing to do with Epstein, all survivors are confirming that.’
With D.C. having restricted airspace, flyovers are rare, with the last happening on the Fourth of July and on June 14, for the Army’s 250th anniversary parade that coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday.
However Trump’s show-in-the-sky for a Polish leader isn’t unprecedented.
He had one for Nawrocki’s predecessor too.
In June 2019, the president and first lady Melania Trump hosted Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife Agata Kornhauser-Duda at the White House.
The foursome watched from the South Lawn an F-35 fly by – a gesture of appreciation after Poland purchased 32 of the military aircraft from the U.S.
In recent weeks Poland has signed a $3.8 billion deal to modernize the country’s F-16 fleet.
