Amid a perpetuating narrative among Democrats and the media about the ‘Epstein Files,’ President Trump has called for transparency on the issue: ‘We have nothing to hide’

President Donald Trump has called for the release of the Epstein files, highlighting a need for full transparency amid what he has labeled a “Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics,” and perhaps finally bringing the narrative to an end.
“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, 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 in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,’” the president wrote in a statement.
The president was referring to comments he made over the weekend, addressing the ongoing Epstein issue, which has become a repetitive talking point for many commentators on the right and left, especially following House Democrats’ decision last week to release a bevy of emails from the late and disgraced financier.
Aboard Air Force One, the president told reporters, “I don’t care. Release it or not…if you’re going to do it, then you have to go into Epstein’s friends. There’s Reid Hoffman; he spent a lot of time at the island. I was never at the island. Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. You’re going to have to look into his friends…if they’re going to do that.”
Those comments reiterated remarks he made earlier on Friday, which directed scrutiny toward Jeffrey Epstein’s many reported friends and allies who could be implicated in their association with the convicted sex offender, per LindellTV.
In his statement calling for the release of the files, President Trump said he simply wanted to see Republicans get “BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, ‘Affordability,’ (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more!”
He argued that “nobody cared” about Epstein when he was alive, and said that if the Democrats really had damning evidence against Republicans, it would have been released last year, before the presidential election.
“Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein ‘TRAP,’ which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” the president concluded.
