Donald Trump wrote a scathing Christmas message attacking Jeffrey Epstein associates days after DOJ files showed new photos of the president with the sex offender
Trump and Epstein
President Donald Trump penned a blistering passive-aggressive Christmas message targeting those who socialised with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming they are all Democrats.
Trump also delivered a similarly caustic message on Christmas Eve, slamming Democrats for “doing everything possible to destroy our Country” whilst celebrating his achievements during the first year of his second term. Trump’s latest remarks follow just days after the U.S. Department of Justice unveiled tens of thousands of documents relating to the Epstein case, revealing the president in fresh photographs aboard the paedophile’s aircraft with unidentified women, travelling “many more times” on Epstein’s plane during the mid-to-late 1990s than previously understood, and facing rape allegations.
The DOJ categorically dismisses the sexual assault claims against Trump. No charges have ever been filed against the president in relation to Epstein, and he vehemently insists that he had no awareness of and did not participate in any illegal activities with the deceased sex offender.

In a scathing attack on those involved in Epstein’s abhorrent sex crimes, Trump penned on Thursday: “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 do’ when things got too HOT, 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.”
The president’s tirade on Truth Social then took a political turn, reports the Mirror US.
“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,'” Trump wrote.
He also lambasted the media for its handling of the high-profile case.
“The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologise for their poor and faulty Election ‘Reporting,’ even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE! ) coverage,” Trump continued. “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.”
Trump has launched multiple defamation cases against news organisations, including The Wall Street Journal, following their publication of what they claim is a damning birthday message penned by Trump to Epstein. The former president vehemently refutes authoring the correspondence.
Trump maintained a tight personal bond with Epstein spanning many years before their relationship soured in the period preceding Epstein’s detention.
Fresh Department of Justice documents made public in connection with the probe into Epstein’s offences, released under congressional legislation that Trump himself signed, contained numerous references to the former president.

Amongst the latest Epstein papers now in the public domain sits an FBI case file (EFTA00020518) dated October 2020, which features a sexual assault allegation concerning Trump. Both the Department of Justice and the Press Office issued swift and categorical rebuttals.
The document includes remarks from an unidentified woman who purportedly stated, “he raped me,” referring to Trump, claiming that “Donald J. Trump had raped her together with Jeffrey Epstein.”
The report continues with the woman’s alleged assertion that “some girl with a funny name ‘took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.'” The document references an interview with a limousine driver, who reported driving Trump in Dallas, Texas, in 1997 and 1995. The FBI interview with the driver is from 2020.
In it, he describes a “very concerning” phone call involving Trump whilst driving him to an airport in 1995. According to the file, Trump repeatedly mentioned the name “Jeffrey” during the conversation and referred to “abusing some girl.”
In it, the driver reports he was “a few seconds from pulling the limousine over on the median and within a few seconds of pulling him out of the car and hurting him due to some of things he was saying” due to the nature of the conversation in the phone call.

The Department of Justice immediately responded to the rape allegation and limo driver allegations that “the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already.”
They added, that the accusations were “untrue and sensationalist.”
Trump defended himself and others pictured with Epstein, none of whom have not been shown in any incriminating way. Speaking during an unrelated event at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday, the president blamed Democrats and some Republicans for the controversy.
“What this whole thing is with Epstein is a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has,” Trump said.
He also voiced his irritation regarding the well-known figures photographed alongside Epstein in images made public by the Justice Department – individuals who he claimed might not have been acquainted with him but were captured in the frame nonetheless.
“You probably have pictures of other people who innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago, many years ago. And they’re, you know, highly respected bankers and lawyers and others,” Trump said.
