After calling for the Jeffery Epstein files to be released by the FBI during his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump is now claiming the Epstein files are a hoax. In a recent post on Trumps social media platform Truth Social, the president claims the reason democrats are focusing on the "Epstein hoax" is to draw attention away from the government shutdown which he blames them for. Recently emails between President Trump and Epstein from before Epstein's arrest were released. In one of these emails from 2019 Epstein says that Trump was well aware the sex trafficking Epstein was conducting. Before these emails the main source used by democrats were pictures of Trump and Epstein together. With these new leaked emails, it would now appear that Donald Trump is in or has heavy ties with the Epstein files.
