Donald Trump again denied links to Jeffrey Epstein, saying he never visited Epstein’s island. He claimed newly released DOJ documents show Epstein and author Michael Wolff conspired to politically damage him, as millions of Epstein-related records continue to be released.
US President Donald Trump has once again denied allegations linking him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, stating that he never visited Epstein’s ‘infested’ private island. He accused Democrats and their donors of creating fake stories about his links with Epstein while having relations with the convicted sex offender. He also slammed author Michael Wolff for spreading lies about his links with Epstein and said that he did it to harm his reputation and his presidency. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed newly released information from the Department of Justice quashes the “trash talks” by the people regarding his links with Epstein Files.
"Not only wasn’t I friendly with Jeffrey Epstein but, based upon information that has just been released by the Department of Justice, Epstein and a SLEAZEBAG lying ‘author’ named Michael Wolff, conspired in order to damage me and/or my Presidency," Trump wrote.
