Trump criticizes former allies over Epstein-related accusations

UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Trump calls the Epstein investigation a Democratic hoax and rejects supporters demanding transparency as GOP lawmakers block document releases amid ongoing political tensions.

  • On July 15, 2025, President Donald Trump walked on the South Lawn of the White House amidst growing criticism over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.
  • The criticism arose from widespread conspiracy theories and pressure to release alleged Epstein-related documents, though the FBI and Justice Department found no incriminating client list involving elites.
  • Trump attacked his own supporters for their persistent interest in Epstein, dismissing the topic as "boring stuff" and blaming "fake news" and "bad people" for keeping the issue alive.
  • A motion to force the release of Epstein files was defeated 5 to 7 in the House, despite Republican Ralph Norman voting with Democrats, and Attorney General Pam Bondi clarified she referred to case files, not a client list.
  • The ongoing dispute highlights divisions within Trump’s base and administration, suggesting that Epstein-related controversies may continue to influence political dynamics and calls for transparency.
