In a bizarre attempt to deflect from his own entanglements, former US President Donald Trump has lashed out at House Democrats, labeling their recent release of emails related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a "hoax."
Trump took to social media platform Truth Social, where he claimed that only a "very bad or stupid" Republican would fall into the trap. However, his own alleged connection to Epstein raises questions about his credibility.
A series of incriminating emails released by House Democrats reveals that Epstein had a personal connection with Trump, referring to him as "the dog that hasn't barked" and claiming that he knew about the girls. In another email to journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein directly implicated Trump, stating that he was aware of the girls.
Trump has consistently denied writing an alleged letter to Epstein, which includes a doodle of a naked woman. When confronted by the Wall Street Journal, Trump maintained his innocence, stating that "it's not my language" and claiming it's "not my words."
Meanwhile, Trump is urging Republicans to focus on more pressing issues, such as restarting the federal government. However, this attempt to shift attention from himself may prove futile.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has defended Trump's actions, stating that he "did nothing wrong." According to her, Trump was simply aware of Epstein's presence in Palm Beach and his membership at Mar-a-Lago, but had no involvement with him.
