President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to denounce what he labeled the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” accusing Democrats and the media of pushing a baseless smear campaign to distract from his recent accomplishments.
In a sharply worded post, Trump likened renewed scrutiny surrounding Epstein to previous controversies he has long dismissed as politically motivated — including the Steele dossier, the Hunter Biden laptop saga, and the Russia investigation.
“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!” Trump wrote. “Just like with the fake Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘intelligence’ officials, the Laptop from Hell, and the Russia hoax — this is just another scam. That’s all the Democrats know how to do.”
He claimed the Left, unable to govern effectively or win elections on merit, is using the Epstein narrative — amplified by what he called the “Fake News” — to damage his political momentum.
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump wrote. “Even some of my former supporters have fallen for this nonsense. If they haven’t learned by now, I don’t want their support.”
Trump also defended his administration’s recent record, asserting: “I’ve had more success in six months than perhaps any president in our nation’s history. Let the weaklings side with the Democrats — I’m focused on winning for America.”
His post comes amid fresh attention on Epstein’s case, particularly regarding how Attorney General Pam Bondi handled related files. Trump recently defended Bondi’s actions, saying she “handled it very well.” When asked about Epstein during a recent cabinet meeting, Trump brushed it off, responding, “Are people still talking about this guy?”
The former president’s remarks are the latest in a series of escalating statements aimed at reinforcing loyalty within his base while discrediting opponents ahead of the 2025 election season.
