then why is Maxwell in prison at all?
_______
When Donald Trump said "It's a hoax" in reference to questions about Jeffrey Epstein or associated conspiracies, he was typically deflecting or dismissing claims linking him to Epstein’s crimes or broader allegations of elite involvement in sex trafficking.

He often used the word "hoax" as a rhetorical tool to discredit politically damaging narratives — such as:

the Russia investigation ("Russia hoax&quot

his two impeachments ("impeachment hoax&quot

and media reports he labeled as "fake news."


In the case of Epstein, Trump has been asked about:

his past friendship with Epstein,

photos of them together,

and allegations that Epstein had damaging information on high-profile figures.


By saying "it's a hoax," Trump was likely implying that:

1. Allegations connecting him personally to Epstein’s crimes were false;


2. Media coverage or investigations around the topic were politically motivated attacks;


3. Conspiracy theories (like Epstein being murdered to protect powerful people) were unfounded.
