Trump denies Epstein ties

Trump denies Epstein links

U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected claims he was close to Jeffrey Epstein, saying “not only wasn’t I friendly with Jeffrey Epstein” but said the disgraced financier worked with others to try to damage him politically.

The comments came after the US Department of Justice released the final tranche of material under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation signed by Trump that required the publication of records linked to federal investigations into Epstein.

The files reference Trump multiple times and also show Epstein had contact with several high-profile figures, including Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said Epstein and “a SLEAZEBAG lying ‘author’ named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency.”



He also insisted, “Unlike so many people that like to ‘talk’ trash, I never went to the infested Epstein island but, almost all of these Crooked Democrats, and their Donors, did.”

Trump has also said he plans to sue Wolff, who previously wrote an unauthorised book about his presidency and has acknowledged encouraging Epstein to share damaging information about Trump. The latest DOJ release stated there was no suggestion in the emails that Trump had committed any crimes or had inappropriate contact with Epstein’s victims, while also showing Epstein frequently made negative comments about Trump.

  1. Well as I keep saying a full and impartial criminal investigation into Epstein and his associates, would remove the need for denials and see actual abusers brought to account. So where is it?

  2. Wasn’t it all a hoax not so long ago?

    How about your man Kash saying that Epstein was trafficking girls to no-one.

    Just trafficking people for no reason and to no-one?

    Pull the other one Donnie

  3. Trump didn’t have to go to the island to be involved in Epsteins depravity. When you enter Trump into the seach bar at this site;

    You will get 4820 hits for his name. If you scroll down to the bottom of the first page have a read of;

    There is all sorts of accusations involving Donald Trump, so this sentence of this story “the latest DOJ release stated there was no suggestion in the emails that Trump had committed any crimes or had inappropriate contact with Epstein’s victims,” is completely false if you just look at that one PDF. There is multiple suggestions in that. And it is the only one I have looked into.

    Who knows if they are true. But he is lying about Epstein, who once referred to Trump as one of his best friends.
