Trump Mocked Online For Now Calling Epstein Files Scandal A ‘Democrat Hoax’

What a difference a year makes for President Donald Trump and the so-calledJeffrey Epstein files.Last September, during the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump toldpodcaster Lex Fridman that he’d have “no problem” releasing official files related to the disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker,including his so-called “client list.”Now, Trump seems to have changed his tune about the files and whether they should be released at all, trying toraise doubts about the case on Wednesday in the Oval Office.A reporter asked the president if the DOJ was trying to protect his friends and donors. The question came following a convergence of Epstein-related events this week: The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday publicly posted the Epstein materials it had received from the Department of Justice, and on Wednesday, a group of Epstein victims held a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol.Trump then declared the whole situation around the release of the Epstein files (which, again, he made a campaign promise in 2024) was just“a Democrat hoax that never ends.”The president claimed that despite the thousands of pages of documents that have been released, the whole scandal is “really a Democrat hoax because they’re trying to get people to talk about something that’s totally irrelevant to the success that we’ve had as a nation since I’ve been president.”He elaborated further — not that it made sense.“So what they’re trying to do with the Epstein hoax is get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success likeending seven wars,” he said. “I ended seven wars. Nobody’s going to talk because they’re going to talk about the Epstein whatever.”Here’s a clip of the exchange:REPORTER: On Epstein, is the DOJ protecting any friends or donors, sir?TRUMP: So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. It reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation ... we should talk about the greatness of our country pic.twitter.com/9iUT68ch5p— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 3, 2025Trump simply referring to the scandal as a “Democrat hoax” wasn’t enough to stop people from forgetting the details of his long friendship with Epstein. In fact, it led to some massive online mockery, as people called out the president’s hypocrisy.If it’s a Democrat hoax why did his DOJ attorney and former personnel attorney interview Maxwell, and then move her to a country club prison? An innocent person would be outraged! pic.twitter.com/m1W6Sis0nO— 🪴Laurie (@Laurieluvsmolly) September 3, 2025Pay very close attention.On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.”Miss me with that bullshit.— Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@RepJasmine) September 3, 2025Moments after the press conference with Epstein survivors concluded, Trump is once again calling it a “Democrat hoax,” saying the Epstein matter is “Totally irrelevant.”Ask yourself: why is Trump so desperate to stop the American people from seeing the Epstein files? pic.twitter.com/knkdSZkkBi— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) September 3, 2025This is a White House cover-up. Release the files NOW.— Congressman Robert Garcia (@RepRobertGarcia) September 3, 2025Trump is right in the Oval Office calling these women who are describing the sexual abuse and rape they suffered and endured as children as a democrat hoax. Trump never stops proving he’s the biggest fucking scumbag that ever walked this earth.— Marlene Robertson🇨🇦 (@marlene4719) September 3, 2025Here's trump, whining about how people won't forget what HE calls "a Democrat hoax," even though HE is the one who promised to release all of the files.Stop your bitching, man.Get justice for the VICTIMS. pic.twitter.com/aq6g0yDcLY— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) September 3, 2025Blah Blah Blah. Listen up Fuckface: it’s not a “Democrat hoax.” You’re a fucking pedophile who raped young girls along with Epstein. By the way, nice touch arranging that flyover today as the survivor’s spoke you fucking piece of shit. pic.twitter.com/HaXB7heg2X— Canada Hates Trump (@AntiTrumpCanada) September 3, 2025What we are witnessing is a CONSPIRACY by the Republican Party to protect a child rapist and a child sex trafficking network. They will NEVER release the Epstein files. This is the holy grail of corruption and they will protect it at ALL COSTS. The ONLY way forward is to EXPOSE…— Dj Omega Mvp (@DjOmegaMVP) September 3, 2025
