Trump criticizes former allies over Epstein-related accusations

UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Trump calls Epstein case a Democratic hoax and criticizes supporters demanding transparency after the Justice Department found no client list or evidence of foul play, deepening GOP divisions.

  • On July 15, 2025, President Donald Trump addressed questions about his administration's handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related files at the White House South Lawn in Washington, D.C.
  • This came amid increasing pressure over the release of records connected to Epstein, who died in a New York jail in August 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking trial.
  • Trump expressed confusion about supporters’ continued interest in Epstein, stating, "He's dead for a long time," and highlighted that FBI and DOJ reviews found no incriminating client list.
  • He also called the Epstein investigation a "Hoax," blaming "pretty bad people including fake news" for sustaining it, and criticized former supporters for buying into it "hook, line, and sinker."
  • The refusal to release more files has deepened divisions in Trump’s base and led House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans to demand greater transparency on Epstein materials.
