Trump blasts Democrats over what he calls the ‘Epstein SCAM' and ‘CON JOB'
A furious President Donald Trump has once again blasted 'Radical Left Democrats' over the ongoing fallout of the so-called 'Epstein files,' describing it as a 'SCAM' and a 'CON JOB.' In a late-night post on Truth Social Thursday, the president fumed over what he claims is an attempt to 'distract and obfuscate' from his administration's first 'GREAT six months of service to America ... the results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history.' '[The Democrats] have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM,' Trump bellowed online. 'As things are revealed and, I hope will take place quickly, you will see that it is yet another Democrat CON JOB. Hopefully, the Grand Jury Files will put an end to this HOAX. Everyone should see what is there, but people who are innocent should not be hurt. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' The president has become increasingly frustrated in recent weeks at the persistence of the controversy, which is largely fueled by his own MAGA support base. Supporters have demanded total transparency on a so-called 'client list' belonging to the late sex offender, which is alleged to contain the details of his associates. Conspiracy theorists have long demanded its release, but now the Trump administration says there is no evidence any such list exists, despite Attorney General Pam Bondi having said in February the evidence was on her desk for review. A number of MAGA acolytes were furious after the DOJ released a two-page memo claiming the alleged list did not exist and that Epstein had indeed died by suicide while awaiting trial for sex-trafficking in Manhattan. Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had been told in May by Bondi that his name appeared in the Epstein Files 'multiple times'. The president denied such claims to reporters earlier this month. While Trump has not been accused of any formal wrongdoing or charged with any crime, his proximity to Epstein, someone he once called a friend, has heightened conspiracy theories that the government is withholding documents that could reveal embarrassing information about high-profile individuals. Thursday's post echoed a previous one made earlier this month, in which the president labelled the Epstein files controversy as a "hoax" and "bulls***," as well as criticizing members of his own party who called for more transparency. "[T]hese Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates," he wrote. "Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker." The president's most recent outburst comes after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Epstein's former girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in Florida earlier Friday. The former British socialite's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, did not take questions following the meeting, but said Maxwell 'never declined to answer' and did not invoke any privilege during the meeting. Prior to the meeting he said the team was looking forward to a 'productive day.' Blanche said he's expecting to further question Maxwell on Friday.

Trump Loses It Over Epstein Drama Moments After New Revelations Surface
President Donald Trump has called the persistent controversy around his connection to Jeffrey Epstein a 'scam.' In a Truth Social post on Thursday, the president claimed it was the 'Radical Left Democrats' who were trying to distract from his political achievements by focusing on the mysterious Epstein files. Trump has been attempting to distract from links to his one-time friend Epstein, which keep resurfacing. Last week, he raged against a Wall Street Journal report that claimed he had sent a letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday that allegedly included the line 'May every day be another wonderful secret.' An angry Trump fired off a string of Truth Social posts, in which he called the letter 'fake' and announced he was filing a $10 billion lawsuit against the publication., which is owned by another sometime friend, Rupert Murdoch. After a flurry of Truth Social posts about trade deals, AI, and the death of Hulk Hogan on Thursday night, Trump once again waded into the Epstein debate, recycling some of his favorite catchphrases. He posted, 'The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America, results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history.' The president continued, 'They have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM.' Trump then addressed Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who visited Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell in prison on Thursday, where she is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2021 of recruiting underage girls for the sex trafficker. Blanche revealed on X that he will meet with Maxwell again on Friday and said, 'The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.' In his Truth Social post, which followed Blanche's post, Trump said, 'As things are revealed and, I hope will take place quickly, you will see that it is yet another Democrat CON JOB. Hopefully, the Grand Jury Files will put an end to this HOAX. Everyone should see what is there, but people who are innocent should not be hurt. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' Trump has spent the week dodging the topic of Epstein, which has even seen some MAGA supporters turn against him. On Tuesday, when the president was asked about the Department of Justice meeting with Maxwell, he told reporters, 'I don't really follow that too much.' He then deflected from further Epstein questions by mentioning an alleged plot by Barack Obama to rig the 2016 election. Later that day, Trump posted on Truth Social, 'We had the Greatest Six Months of any President in the History of our Country, and all the Fake News wants to talk about is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax!' When the Journal reported on Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi had told Trump back in May that his name featured in the Epstein files several times, the president let White House communications director Steven Cheung respond for him. 'This is another fake news story, just like the previous story by the Wall Street Journal,' Cheung stated.

Trump Decries 'Democrat Con Job' Amid Epstein Files Row: 'Another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax'
Last Updated: Trump accused "Radical Left Democrats" of distracting people from a successful six months of his presidency with the latest controversy on the Epstein files. US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) sought to deflect the growing row over the files related to disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which has become a major threat to his presidency, by dismissing it as a 'scam" and calling it a 'Democrat con job." Trump said that 'Radical Left Democrats" were doing everything possible to distract people from an exceptionally successful six months of his presidency and said they had gone 'absolutely CRAZY" with the latest political attack on Epstein files. 'The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America, results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history. They have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM," he said on his Truth Social platform. 'As things are revealed and, I hope will take place quickly, you will see that it is yet another Democrat CON JOB. Hopefully, the Grand Jury Files will put an end to this HOAX. Everyone should see what is there, but people who are innocent should not be hurt. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump is facing a dire crisis as his MAGA base is angered over the White House's handling of the so-called 'Epstein files," viewing it as a betrayal by the Republican and his allies who have long championed the unfounded theory that powerful elites orchestrated a massive child sex trafficking cover-up. Trump, who had campaigned on the promise of releasing the Epstein files, has now attempted to downplay the matter and calling it a 'hoax" promoted by Democrats. His Justice Department and the FBI have said there is no evidence that Epstein kept a client list or was blackmailing powerful figures, angering MAGA supporters. Trump Informed His Name Was In Epstein Files Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was informed that his name had appeared multiple times in the files of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation. The information to Trump was reportedly passed on by Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, during a meeting at the White House. However, the White House said the conversation between two administration officials was a 'routine briefing" that covered the scope of the Justice Department's findings. 'The White House is not surprised by this. Trump's name was present in the binders that Bondi produced and handed out," a White House official told CNN. The WSJ report stated Trump was also told that senior Justice Department officials didn't plan to release any more Epstein documents, because the material contained child pornography and victims' personal information. The report also mentioned that both Epstein and Trump said years ago that they had a falling out. Trump said their friendship ended before the financier was indicted for soliciting prostitution in 2006. Epstein later pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution in 2008, served time in a Florida jail and registered as a sex offender.

Trump Says Those Who Believe Epstein 'Bullshit' Are Total 'Weaklings'
Donald Trump started his Tuesday morning with a stark warning to his MAGA followers still interested in the Jeffrey Epstein case: Anyone who wants answers is falling for a Democratic 'bullshit.' 'The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 'Intelligence' Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden's bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton's big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates,' Trump posted on Truth Social, in the longest, most nonsensical run-on sentence ever. 'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,' he continued, directly attacking those interested in the case as falling for leftist propaganda. '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. 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!' The post is proof that Trump is losing control of his base—and it's getting to him. On Tuesday, he declared that those still interested in the case about the deceased sex criminal are 'pretty bad people.' Despite all of Trump's efforts, which have included directly calling MAGA influencers talking about Epstein and asking them to fall in line, his followers are still talking about how and why the administration suddenly closed the case. Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, and many, many more have attacked the Trump administration and promised they won't let this go.

MAGA Supporters Are Turning On Trump Over Epstein Posts
Donald Trump is back online attempting to squash further discussion on the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In case you're not up to speed, the Trump administration previously promised to release documents related to the Epstein case, with some officials even previously pedaling conspiracy theories on what would be uncovered. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in February that a client list was "sitting on her desk," and she would review it at Trump's direction. However, earlier this month, the Department of Justice and the FBI released a memo stating there is no evidence of a client list or Epstein blackmailing influential figures, per an Axios report. Now, Trump is trying to quell supporters who continue to question the shift on Epstein. In a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday, July 12, Trump defended Bondi amid attacks by his supporters, suggested files related to Epstein are "fake" creations of "Radical Left Lunatics," and encouraged his followers to "not waste Time and Energy" on Epstein. "One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World," he wrote. "Let's keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about." If anything, the post only drew more attention to the matter. NBC News reported that searches for Epstein spiked after Trump's post, which also received more negative responses from his own supporters than any other post on the platform — a platform dominated mainly by conservative voices. Still, Trump is doubling down again. In a post on Wednesday morning, he wrote another seemingly furious message, blaming his own supporters for falling victim to the "Radical Left Democrats" and the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax." He wrote, "Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years." Trump expressed frustration at the media continuing to report on Epstein, while criticizing his "past" supporters who continue to talk about the "hoax." He wrote, "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! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Yes, he really just called his own supporters WEAKLINGS. And judging by the replies, many are not taking it well. On a platform where Trump's posts typically receive nothing but praise, the backlash under this one was stark: "Why is the Epstein case so important to the MAGA movement?" user @GreeksForTrump asked. "It's WHY Trump won in 2016. He promised to rip the mask off the globalist elite and drain their filthy swamp. If the GOP betrays that mission again, at least a third of the base walks. And they will lose 2026. Guaranteed." "Why was Epstein in prison then? How about Ghislaine? For a hoax? I don't think so. This is the hill we all die on," another wrote. "People you nominated for your own administration talked about Epstein for years. Now you're saying it never was, without giving us the proof? And you don't want the support of your full base simply because they don't believe what you do? 🤦♀️" this person asked. "America wants the Truth no more no [lies] we are tired of being lied to by all that are in office I have supported you Mr President but Your AG caused this and now she needs to fix it as I am not sure America will be able to trust anything she does in the future if this is not settled," another said. And lastly, this supporter wrote: "Listen President Trump we don't give a shit about Epstein, we want accountability and justice for the innocent that had to go through the hell Epstein and Maxwell and all the other elite PEDOPHILES have put them through! If you don't want us as your voters then alright you may get what you ask for sir! I voted for you three times and I didn't want to feel like this was a vote I would regret! Nothing has been done so far and I'm wondering if you are protecting these bastards now. We don't trust Bondi either." Meanwhile, on Monday, Republicans in the House blocked a Democratic maneuver that would have forced the release of all documents related to Epstein, a move that deepened frustration on both sides. In other words, while Trump may want to move on, it's not looking like the discussion around the Epstein case, even from his most fervent allies, is going away anytime soon.
