This statement is partly true but mostly false. Starting with the fact that Donald Trump did not do more than anyone to prosecute Jeffery Epstein. People say that since the Trump Administration arrested Epstein on federal sex trafficking charges and put him in jail, Trump did more to prosecute him than any other person. This is simply not true because people, besides Trump, have tried and successfully prosecuted Jeffery Epstein within the years of 2005-2008.
The first prosecution, according to NPR, started in 2005 with police opening an investigation in Florida. The article states, “Police open a criminal investigation into Epstein in Palm Beach, Fla., after a 14-year-old girl's parents say he paid her for a massage…” NPR. Also according to NPR in the same case in 2008, “A Palm Beach County grand jury indicts Epstein on one state felony charge of solicitation of prostitution.” NPR. This prosecution landed Epstein only 18 months in prison in 2008 due to a non-prosecution agreement according to an ABC news timeline. ABC states specifically, “Epstein pleads guilty to state charges in Florida, including procuring a child for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution. The deal includes a nonprosecution agreement giving him immunity from possible federal charges. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail.” ABC News.
Secondly, I have seen possible traces of the fact that Bradley Edwards (the victims rights lawyer for the 100+ girls abused by Epstein) stated on X that Trump cooperated with him back in 2009 with the first allegation. Unfortunately though, I could not find a legitimate news source who covered that statement or the fact that he was “a great help” in the prosecution.
Lastly, the statement that the Trump administration “has released more Epstein files than all other administrations combined” is partly true and partly false. According to CBS News, in early September 2025, the House oversight committee released thousands of files related to Epstein. The exact quote being, “The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday released more than 33,000 pages of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a well-connected financier whose sex trafficking charges and 2019 death in federal custody have drawn years of public speculation” CBS News. Although in the same article they also state, “Many of the documents were already in the public domain.” CBS News. So for this particular claim, they might have officially released the documents to the public in one report (and more than other administrations had done in the past), but some of those documents citizens already knew about.
