Trump mocked Epstein victims with “hoax” comment

As a press conference was held outside the Capitol alongside Democratic and Republican members of Congress for the introduction of the “Epstein Files Transparency Act”, several victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell delivered deeply moving speeches directly appealing to Donald Trump to take them seriously.

Questioned by reporters at the White House at the same time, the President reiterated his position, stating once again that, in his opinion, the Epstein Files are nothing more than a Democratic “hoax”.

According to Trump, the uproar surrounding the bipartisan filing of the “Epstein Files Transparency Act”, which calls for the file to be fully posted with victims’ names redacted, is nothing more than “A Democrat hoax that never ends”.

He added, according to The Independent, that “no one is ever satisfied” despite the “thousands of pages of documents” already made public, calling the whole thing “totally irrelevant”.

Trump finally complained that, no matter how hard his administration tried to make the Epstein files available, while many recalled that the vast majority of the thousands of pages released had already been released under the Biden administration, the requests never stop.
