Trump accused Democrats of using the Epstein files to distract from the Republican victory.
“For years our great nation has had to endure Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, and many other Democrat-engineered witch hunts and scandals, all of which have been very terrible and divisive to our country, and meant to confuse, distract, and distract from the great work the Republicans and the Trump administration are doing,” the president said. “This latest fraud will adversely affect Democrats just like everyone else!”
The president said Monday he had no dealings with Epstein after a recently released batch of emails included messages from the disgraced financier claiming Trump “knew about girls” and “spent hours at my house” with a sex trafficking victim.

Boebert was one of four Republicans who signed it.
Last week, Trump ordered Bondi to investigate Epstein’s “involvement and association” with Democrats who were named in the tranche of Epstein emails. A few hours later, Bondy appointed a prosecutor to lead the case.
After it became clear that the House was poised to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act with broad bipartisan support, Trump suddenly changed his stance And calling the entire affair a “hoax” he urged the GOP to support the bill.
Writing on Truth Social late Sunday, he said House Republicans should “vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated by Radical Left lunatics to distract from the great success of the Republican Party.”
