President Donald Trump has shared a bizarre Christmas Day social media post about Jeffrey Epstein, saying that he dropped ties with the late sex offender “long before it became fashionable,” and that the controversy surrounding the release of the so-called Epstein files is a “Radical Left Witch Hunt.”
The Trump administration has been facing ongoing scrutiny, mainly from Democrats but also some Republicans, for its handling of government files related to Epstein as the public pushes for more transparency about the disgraced financiers’ life and crimes. Epstein died by suicide in his jell cell in 2019 as he stood accused of sexually abusing and sex trafficking underage girls.
