Trump Dismisses Epstein Claims, Blames Political Rivals

Former President Donald Trump has denounced ongoing speculation and demands for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein case, calling the controversy a 'Democratic hoax' and criticizing Democrats and former MAGA allies for spreading what he labels as baseless conspiracy theories. Trump specifically denied the existence of an 'Epstein client list,' citing recent statements from his DOJ and FBI leaders. He accused those calling for more Epstein files—some of whom were once staunch supporters—of being 'weaklings' aiding Democrats. The situation has exposed fractures among Trump’s supporters, as some Republicans join Democrats in demanding further disclosure. Trump has also attempted to shift blame to political opponents and former officials, including Obama, Biden, and James Comey. The Epstein controversy continues to fuel debate and division within Republican ranks.
