A furious President Donald Trump has once again blasted “Radical Left Democrats” over the ongoing fallout of the so-called “Epstein files,” describing it as a “SCAM” and a “CON JOB.”
In a late-night post on Truth Social Thursday, the president fumed over what he claims is an attempt to “distract and obfuscate” from his administration’s first “GREAT six months of service to America … the results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history.”
“[The Democrats] have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM,” Trump bellowed online.
“As things are revealed and, I hope will take place quickly, you will see that it is yet another Democrat CON JOB. Hopefully, the Grand Jury Files will put an end to this HOAX. Everyone should see what is there, but people who are innocent should not be hurt. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The president has become more and more frustrated in recent weeks at the persistence of the controversy, which is largely fueled by his own MAGA support base. Supporters have demanded total transparency on a so-called “client list” belonging to the deceased pedophile, which is alleged to contain the details of his associates.
Conspiracy theorists have long demanded its release, but now the Trump administration says there is no evidence it exists, despite Attorney General Pam Bondi having said in February that it was on her desk.
A number of MAGA acolytes were furious after the DOJ released a two-page memo claiming that the alleged list did not exist, and that there was evidence that Epstein had indeed died by suicide while awaiting trial for sex-trafficking in Manhattan.
Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had been told in May by Bondi that his name appeared in the Epstein Files “multiple times”. The president denied such claims to reporters earlier this month.
Thursday’s post echoed a previous one made earlier this month, in which he labelled the Epstein files controversy as a “hoax” and “bulls***,” as well as criticizing members of his own party who called for more transparency.
“[T]hese 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,” he wrote.
“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.”
The president’s most recent outburst also comes after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Epstein’s former girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in Florida.
The British socialite’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus did not take questions following the meeting, but said Maxwell “never declined to answer” and did not invoke any privilege during the meeting. Prior to the meeting he said the team was looking forward to a “productive day.”
