MSNOW writer Ryan Teague Beckwith says that President Donald Trump is about to pull from a predictable playbook when it comes to how he will wrangle his way out of the Epstein scandal.

"So far, Trump has handled the ongoing scandal surrounding the release of records related to the convicted sex trafficker with the same playbook he deployed against questions about his 2016 campaign’s contacts with the Russian government," he writes.

"The president has a predictable set of arguments," MS Now reports. "The one coming next is clear"
