Trump slams 'past supporters' over fixation on Epstein

President Trump on Wednesday admonished and sought to distance himself from supporters who have pressed for more information about documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump dismissed the uproar over the Epstein files as a “scam” perpetuated by Democrats and suggested he no longer welcomed his backers who have called for more transparency around the documents.

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls‑‑‑,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump posted. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.

“I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump continued. “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

A number of prominent Trump supporters, including members of Congress, have called for the administration to release more information around the Epstein files. Far-right activist Laura Loomer and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), two staunch Trump allies, are among those who have called for a special counsel to look into the matter.

Trump supporters, including some now serving in his administration, have for years espoused conspiracy theories around Epstein’s death and suggested the government was covering up information for nefarious reasons.

But Trump has in recent days appeared exasperated by the fixation on Epstein.

“I don’t understand it, why they would be so interested,” Trump said Tuesday. “He’s been dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don’t understand what the interest and what the fascination is. I really don’t. And the credible information has been given.”

The Justice Department and FBI issued a joint memo last week that stated Epstein did not have a client list and confirmed he died by suicide in his New York City jail cell in 2019. The findings incensed members of the MAGA movement, who have for years pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death and claims that prominent Democrats would be named on a client list.

Epstein, accused in several cases of sex trafficking young girls, ran in high-powered circles with figures that included Trump, former President Clinton, Britain’s Prince Andrew and a number of other celebrities and ultrawealthy individuals. Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been convicted of sex trafficking.
