President Donald Trump took aim at both Democrats and “stupid” Republicans on Wednesday after newly obtained documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate suggested the president knew about the late sex offender’s criminal activity.
Trump’s Truth Social rant also comes as House Democrats make progress on releasing the full trove of documents, thanks to some Republicans joining them in a petition to force a vote on their release.
“The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects,” Trump wrote.
“Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap,” he warned.
Four Republicans ― Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.), Nancy Mace (S.C.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Thomas Massie (Ky.) ― sided with Democrats in voting for a petition to force a House vote on releasing the Justice Department’s full trove of Epstein files ― which Trump’s administration said they wouldn’t do, reversing course on his campaign promises in a move that rocked his MAGA base over the summer.
