Trump's Latest Epstein Denial Has Critics Asking New Questions
HuffPost
The president insisted he was "totally exonerated" by the latest Epstein files release, but not everyone is buying it.
President Donald Trump’s critics aren’t buying his latest claim about the files related to his former friend, the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I have nothing to hide. I’ve been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday evening. “They went in hoping that they’d find it and found just the opposite. I’ve been totally exonerated.”
He used the phrase “totally exonerated” at least two more times during the exchange.
The files do not offer new evidence of wrongdoing by Trump. However, Trump ― who was once close to Epstein ― is mentioned frequently, and the documents are so heavily redacted that critics say many questions remain.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) last week said he searched the unredacted files available to lawmakers for “Don,” “Donald” and “Trump” and received more than 1 million results.
