Donald Trump has once again rejected any claims of connections with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, asserting that he has been “totally exonerated” and has “nothing to hide” regarding the ongoing scrutiny. In a recent interaction with reporters, Trump expressed confidence in the investigations that, according to him, have cleared him of any wrongdoing associated with Epstein. “I have nothing to hide. I’ve been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,” he stated, asserting that Democrats had sought to find incriminating evidence but ended up with the contrary.

Trump’s Comments on Epstein

The former president suggested that Epstein was not an ally of his political ambitions, claiming that Epstein actively opposed his election efforts. “Jeffrey Epstein was fighting that I don’t get elected with some author, a sleazebag, by the way,” Trump remarked. He then shifted his focus, insinuating that other political figures, particularly Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, also faced investigations regarding their connections to Epstein. “Think of it. They’ve been pulled in,” he remarked, indicating a broader implication of involvement among leading Democrats.

Responses to Hillary Clinton

In a direct rebuttal to claims made by Hillary Clinton regarding the Epstein scandal, Trump contended that she and her husband were attempting to redirect attention away from himself. He stated, “No, no. They’re getting pulled and that’s their problem,” emphasizing the political distractions at play. Critiquing Clinton for her remarks about having a potential link to the Epstein situation, he referred to her as having “Trump derangement syndrome.”

Epstein’s Background and Ongoing Investigations

Jeffrey Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, has been a focal point of allegations involving numerous figures from various sectors, including politics and entertainment. A recently released batch of Justice Department files has shed light on past contacts between Trump and investigators looking into Epstein’s activities.

The files include a summary from a 2019 FBI interview where former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter reported that Trump had called during an investigation in the mid-2000s. Trump purportedly expressed relief that authorities were finally intervening and stated that there had long been awareness of Epstein’s actions.

Details on Trump’s Interaction with Epstein

According to the documents, Trump claimed to have banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club, even exiting a social event upon noticing the presence of underage individuals. Trump has maintained that he severed ties with Epstein over two decades ago. The broader release of documents indicates that investigators looked into various allegations against notable individuals, including Trump, but concluded that there was insufficient evidence to pursue further inquiries regarding sexual misconduct claims against him.

Additionally, the records indicate that prosecutors issued a subpoena to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2021 as part of their case against Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Epstein currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. Investigations remain ongoing, with Epstein’s connections continuing to attract attention within public discourse.
