() Bill O’Reilly believes President Trump’s reactions to criticism of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files show he is taking it “personally.”
Trump slammed “past supporters” over their focus on the Epstein files, describing it as a “scam” perpetuated by Democrats, adding 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 on Truth Social.
“He’s taking it personally. And when Donald Trump takes it the criticism personally, that’s what he does,” O’Reilly told “CUOMO.”
O’Reilly added that the topic was “nonsense” before moving on to what he believes is a positive for the American people in the reaction to the Epstein files revelations.
“A positive aspect to the story that’s totally overlooked is that the American people do not want favorable treatment being given to the rich and powerful,” he said.
“That’s a real plus, and that cuts across ideological lines. So it’s a good thing, because we don’t live in an oligarchy here where the rich and famous get away with everything and they’re not held to account. People want to know what the deuce happened, and they should want to know.”
O’Reilly believes former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz, who says there are no political leaders on video participating in compromising or illegal activities, nor video cameras set up in bedrooms.
“And I’m going all right, so there’s no story, as far as scandal is concerned. … Unless there’s real hard evidence, I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear innuendo.”
