“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax,” Trump said.
He accused Democrats of deliberately reviving the Epstein issue to shift attention away from Republican accomplishments and voter concerns.
“The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein – Just another Witch Hunt!!!”
Trump also pushed back against claims that Republicans were tied to Epstein, insisting the scandal overwhelmingly involves Democrats and their allies.
“The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans,” he said.
A Shift From Earlier Comments
Trump’s latest remarks mark a noticeable shift from comments he made earlier in the week, when he appeared more cautious about releasing names tied to Epstein.
While taking questions from reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Trump expressed concern that innocent people could be unfairly smeared by the release of photographs and documents.
“I know there are a lot of people that are angry about all of the pictures of other people, you know? But I think it’s terrible,” Trump said.
He specifically addressed photos involving former President Bill Clinton, whom he defended from what he described as politically motivated exposure.
“I like Bill Clinton. I’ve always gotten along with Bill Clinton. I’ve been nice to him; he’s been nice to me. We’ve always gotten along. I respect him. I hate to see photos come out of him,” Trump told reporters.
Trump went on to warn that releasing images without context could damage people who merely crossed paths with Epstein years ago.
“You probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago, many years ago, and they’re highly respected bankers and lawyers and others,” he said.
Trump Recounts Cutting Ties With Epstein
During the same press conference, Trump emphasized that he distanced himself from Epstein long before the scandal exploded.
“I actually threw him out of Mar-a-Lago,” Trump said, recounting how Epstein was banned from the exclusive club.
“He’d come here. We actually threw him out,” Trump repeated.
Trump also criticized Rep. Thomas Massie, accusing him of helping Democrats weaponize the Epstein issue.
“Massey is a loser, and he likes it. And he works with the Democrats. He’s just being used by the Democrats because 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.
DOJ Confirms Massive Document Review
On Wednesday, the Department of Justice confirmed it had received more than one million additional Epstein-related documents from the Southern District of New York and the FBI.
“The DOJ has received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review them for release, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, existing statutes, and judicial orders,” the department said in a statement.
Officials said attorneys are working around the clock to process the files while protecting victims.
“Due to the mass volume of material, this process may take a few more weeks,” the DOJ added.
Christmas Warning Raises Eyebrows
Trump’s comments follow a provocative Christmas Day post in which he issued a blunt message to Democrats he believes were connected to Epstein.
“Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!” Trump wrote.
The statement immediately drew backlash from the media while energizing supporters who see the Epstein revelations as long-overdue accountability for powerful elites.
As the DOJ continues its review, the Epstein files remain a political flashpoint. Trump, however, has made it clear where he stands.
In his view, the investigation has become less about justice and more about political theater.
“Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country!” Trump declared.
Whether the documents will reshape the political landscape or simply fuel more partisan warfare remains to be seen.
