During a meeting in Scotland, President Trump addressed questions about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, denying involvement in any wrongdoing. Despite attempts to move on, the attention on the Epstein case persists, with Trump expressing frustration over what he perceives as a narrative fueled by Democrats and the media.
President Donald Trump addressed questions regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during a meeting in Scotland. He denied drawing a woman in a birthday letter to Epstein, visiting his island, and stated that he cut ties with Epstein after a business dispute. The White House has faced challenges in moving on from the Epstein case, with Trump expressing frustration over the narrative fueled by Democrats and the media. Despite efforts to dismiss reports of his friendship with Epstein as 'fake news,' the president offered detailed explanations of his interactions with Epstein, including a falling out before Epstein's criminal charges.
Trump disavowed a Wall Street Journal report about a birthday letter to Epstein and emphasized that he never visited Epstein's island. He dismissed the topic as a 'hoax' initially but later provided more substantial responses. The president's relationship with Epstein dates back to the 1980s, with his name appearing in files related to the case. Vice President JD Vance also distanced the administration from the fallout, criticizing past administrations for handling the Epstein case. Trump has sought to shift focus to Obama and allegations of treason, while White House officials express frustration over the continued attention on Epstein.
