Donald Trump has chilling response for victims of Jeffrey Epstein network

On Wednesday, a press conference was held outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C., where victims of Jeffrey Epstein shared their stories and demanded government transparency in the full release of documents related to the case.

Trump shouts “hoax” over Epstein victims

While the event was a bipartisan initiative backing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, President Donald Trump – who has been closely linked with Epstein – dismissed it, insisting it was nothing more than “a Democrat hoax” aimed at distracting the public from his accomplishments as president.

“Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein spoke at a press conference at the Capitol. They’re asking for the case files to be released,” one White House reporter said during a briefing that same day. Trump shot back: “This is a never-ending Democrat hoax. From what I know, thousands of documents have been released. It’s nothing more than a Democrat hoax.”

The former president then veered off topic, highlighting what he called his presidential “successes,” including ordering the deployment of National Guard troops to curb crime in Washington, D.C., and his role in “ending seven wars.”

“What they’re trying to do with this Epstein hoax is give people something to talk about instead of my tremendous success – like ending seven wars. I ended seven wars, but nobody talks about that because they’re talking about whatever Epstein is,” he added.

Republicans also demand transparency in the Epstein case

Despite Trump’s remarks, the Epstein Files Transparency Act remains a bipartisan effort in which both Democrats and Republicans are demanding justice for victims through the disclosure of documents.

At the morning’s press conference, Republican congresswoman and outspoken Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that if the victims identify their abusers, she will personally read the names aloud in the Capitol.

“The minute they hand me the list, I’ll walk through the chamber and read every damn name of the men who abused these victims,” she said.

Speculation continues that Trump himself may appear on the list of people linked to Epstein – a theory critics say explains his resistance to the full release of the files.
