President Trump predicted Thursday that documents related to Jeffrey Epstein will show that the “Sleazebags who loved” the notorious pedophile are all Democrats.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog,’ when things got too HOT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president argued the individuals once associated with Epstein, but now distancing themselves from the disgraced late financier, have “falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so.”
Trump and Epstein enjoyed a close friendship in the 1990s and early 2000s before falling out, reportedly amid a bidding war in 2004 over a since-demolished Palm Beach, Fla., mansion.
Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal child sex trafficking charges, previously pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution in a case out of Florida.
The president has also claimed he banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club after the convicted sex predator ignored warnings not to poach masseuses from the spa to work for him.
“When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife ‘Republican,’ Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story – a total Scam – and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP,’” the commander-in-chief continued.
“The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election ‘Reporting,’ even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage,” Trump added, arguing, “now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished.
“But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump.”
The Justice Department was forced to release thousands of documents related to the Epstein case in response to legislation sponsored by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) – and signed into law by Trump – that established a Dec. 19 deadline to release files.
The DOJ indicated Wednesday that it “may take a few more weeks” to comply with the law.
The files released thus far have included several embarrassing photographs of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and a 2020 email from a Manhattan federal prosecutor indicating that Trump traveled on the notorious pedophile’s private jet at least eight times during the mid-1990s.
There is no evidence that Trump was aware of Epstein’s sex crimes during their friendship or that the president committed any wrongdoing.
