Trump Decries 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,' and Those Still Raising Issue as 'Past Supporters' [View all]

resident Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed the outrage within his party over the Jeffrey Epstein files as “bull—t,” rebuking his own supporters for buying into what he called a “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” and declaring he no longer wanted the backing of “weaklings.”

The post on his social media platform Truth Social marked Trump’s most forceful attempt yet to tamp down an escalating political crisis that has fractured parts of the MAGA coalition, spotlighted internal rifts in his administration, and prompted a growing number of Republican officials to call for the release of files related to the convicted sex offender’s decades-long abuse of underage girls.

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bull—t,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote. “I don’t want their support anymore!”

The outburst followed weeks of mounting pressure on Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department’s reversal on long-promised disclosures related to the Epstein investigation. The Trump Administration has now insisted that no “client list” exists—despite years of signaling otherwise.
