YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump lashed out at fellow Republicans who have been calling for his administration to release documents related to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, casting the files as a distraction spun up by Democrats to undermine his agenda.
“It’s all been a big hoax. It’s perpetrated by the Democrats and some stupid Republicans, and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats’ work,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday as he met with Bahrain’s crown prince at the White House.
Trump’s comments followed a social media post earlier in the day in which he cast the clamor for documents related to Epstein as a “new SCAM” and expressed dismay that “PAST supporters” had bought into it “hook, line and sinker.”
“I don’t want their support anymore!” Trump had written.
Asked by a reporter if Attorney General Pam Bondi had told him the issue was a hoax and what evidence he had seen that supported his claim, Trump offered no justification, insisting that “I know it’s a hoax.”
