BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed calls to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, calling those demands “stupid” and “foolish,” and accusing Democrats of using the case for political purposes.
During a brief exchange with reporters, Trump was asked about his previous claims that investigations related to Epstein were a hoax. He denied receiving that characterization from any Justice Department official.
“No, it is not the attorney general. It is started by Democrats. It has been run by the Democrats for four years,” Trump said.
He further claimed the issue is being driven by political opponents and echoed familiar criticisms of both parties.
“It is perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net. So, they try to do the Democrats’ work,” he said.
The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue.
Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump’s comments come amid renewed public interest in documents tied to the late financier and convicted sex offender. Federal agencies have released select materials over the past year, but several files remain sealed.
The president’s name has appeared in court records due to past social interactions with Epstein, though Trump has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing in connection with the case.
A federal judge in New York has indicated additional materials may be unsealed later this year as part of ongoing civil litigation.
