"COLLINS: President Trump is arguing it's time for the country to move on from the Epstein files, despite his own campaign pledges to fully release them, and also declined to address the concerns that survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are raising, following the latest release of files from the Justice Department. Instead of responding to those concerns, the president instead lashed out when I asked him about it inside the Oval Office today, after he argued that the Epstein saga is a Democrat problem, not a Republican one."
"COLLINS: On the Epstein files. You talked about Democrats who were in there. Elon Musk was also in there, and so was your Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, and correspondence that he had with him. Did you read those new files that were published by the Department of Justice? TRUMP: No, I didn't. I have a lot of things I'm doing. A lot of things I'm doing. I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise, it would have been major headlines."
During a White House signing ceremony, President Donald Trump declined to state whether he read newly released Department of Justice files related to Jeffrey Epstein. He referenced named individuals and suggested any problematic connections would have produced major headlines. He reacted angrily when asked about survivors' concerns over extensive redactions, and characterized the Epstein matter as a political problem for Democrats. He also suggested survivors were unhappy both about perceived over-release and about heavy redactions that removed entire witness interviews. The exchange occurred amid a DOJ release that left portions of files heavily or entirely blacked out.
