US president denies any relation to Epstein, claims document release politically motivated
Trump has publicly denied any close association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming he severed ties with him early
WASHINGTON, United States (MNTV) – US President Donald Trump has claimed he distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein long before others, accusing Democrats and the media of orchestrating a political attack. His remarks come amid the Justice Department’s ongoing release of files related to the convicted sex offender.
Trump has publicly denied any close association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming he severed ties with him early and framing the renewed scrutiny as politically motivated. In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform Thursday, Trump positioned himself as the only figure to have “dropped” Epstein before it became “fashionable,” while accusing unnamed others of attempting to shift blame onto him.
The president’s comments address the Justice Department’s piecemeal release of documents related to the Epstein case, a process critics argue violates a law Trump himself signed in November requiring full disclosure. While names in the heavily redacted files have included both Trump and Democrats like former President Bill Clinton, no clear evidence of crimes has emerged.
Trump alleged that any future disclosures would implicate Democrats, claiming there is an “ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt” designed to damage his reputation. He warned that “mostly innocent” people risk being “badly hurt and reputationally tarnished” by media coverage.
President Trump extended his criticism to the media, specifically The New York Times, accusing it of false election reporting that he claimed led to apologies and lost subscribers. He also targeted Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, referring to him as “one lowlife ‘Republican’.”
Trump concluded his post with a seasonal yet pointed message to his critics: “Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!” These assertions are part of a longstanding pattern in which Trump has claimed, without conclusive evidence, that elections he lost were “stolen,” claims rejected by numerous courts after the 2020 vote.
