President Donald Trump declared that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has “done its job” in releasing records related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and that it is “time to end” the ongoing demand for more transparency. The president’s statement, made in a lengthy post on his social media platform, Truth Social, comes as a coalition of Democrats and Republicans continues to press for the full disclosure of documents related to the disgraced financier.
Trump’s remarks Friday morning followed a week of intense scrutiny over the federal government’s handling of the Epstein files. In his post, the president launched a broadside against Democrats, accusing them of a “hoax” and claiming they did “nothing” about Epstein “while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!” He questioned the motivations behind their current calls for transparency, stating, “Now, years after his death, they, out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims. Does anybody really believe that?”
