US EditionTrump criticizes former allies over Epstein-related accusations
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – President Trump calls the Epstein case a Democratic hoax and criticizes supporters demanding document releases as 'weaklings' amid GOP efforts to block further disclosures.
- President Donald Trump publicly criticized his own supporters on July 15, 2025, while addressing questions about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation at the White House.
- This criticism followed longstanding conspiracy theories involving an alleged client list of elite individuals tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking, despite official denials and no evidence implicating Trump.
- Trump expressed confusion over supporters' obsession, urging to move past the issue and calling the allegations a hoax spread by political opponents and fake news.
- He expressed the view that only ill-intentioned individuals, such as those spreading false information, would want to continue promoting that narrative, a position illustrated in a related video clip that has been watched more than 4 million times.
- Despite Trump's efforts, the controversy has deepened divisions within his base and intensified calls from some Republicans for full transparency on Epstein-related files.
