Sept. 5 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Friday posted a lengthy message on social media, urging people to "end the Democrat Epstein Hoax" in response to continued calls to release information related to the sex trafficking case.

"The Department of Justice has done its job, they have given everything requested of them. It's time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax, and give the Republicans credit for the great, even legendary job that they are doing," Trump said on Truth Social, addressing calls to release files related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump used the same "hoax" language earlier in the week to refer to continued calls to release the so-called Epstein list, when a group of survivors of the convicted sex trafficker spoke out at a press conference on Capitol Hill.

Earlier this week, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released 33,295 pages of files related to Epstein's sex trafficking of minors case provided by the Justice Department.
