US president calls on country to ‘move on’ after latest Epstein files release

WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) — U.S. President Donald Trump has urged the nation to focus on other matters following the release of new Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, claiming they reveal a conspiracy against him.

He dismissed the files as a “Democrat problem” while commenting on other high-profile names mentioned, including Elon Musk.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said, “I think it’s really time for the country to get onto something else now that nothing came out about me, other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally by Epstein and other people.”

He alleged that Epstein and a reporter, whom he named as Michael Wolf, conspired to ensure his electoral defeat. The president characterized the scandal as “a Democrat problem. It’s not a Republican problem.”

When asked about other prominent individuals mentioned in the documents, such as tech billionaire Elon Musk and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump expressed confidence in their innocence.

“I’m sure they’re fine. Otherwise, it would have been major headlines,” he remarked.

The files, released by the Justice Department last Friday, include communications showing Musk and Lutnick had contact with Epstein, though both men have publicly stated they declined his invitations or spent no meaningful time with him.

Billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. He had previously pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring a minor for prostitution, a deal widely criticized as lenient.

The latest document release is part of ongoing legal proceedings related to his alleged sex trafficking network that implicated numerous wealthy and powerful associates.
