Donald Trump remains adamant that his past ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein never involved sex crimes.
The President of the United States penned a lengthy message to citizens on his Truth Social platform, refuting the malicious narrative about his relationship with the infamous child sex offender.
Following Jeffrey Epstein's arrest and conviction of gruesome sex crimes, rumors claimed public figures like Donald Trump had been involved in his debauchery. However, the politician and the FBI have denied that there was a list of celebrity co-conspirators.
Donald Trump Blames Jeffrey Epstein's List On 'Radical Left Democrats'

Trump did not mince his words in his latest Truth Social post on Wednesday, July 16, claiming that those who believed he was on Epstein's nonexistent list were not genuine supporters. He blamed the rumors on "Radical Left Democrats," claiming they paid to spread fake news to defame him.
The president claimed Democrats have played this card before; allegedly, they frequently used false stories to deceive the public to hide their corruption.
"Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullsh-t' hook, line, and sinker," Trump wrote.
"They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years," the politician added, per TMZ. He declared that he had achieved more success in six months than any other US president, yet the public was still focused on "the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax."
The POTUS Doesn't Want The Support Of Rumormongers

Trump doubled down on his administration's achievements, claiming the "weaklings" among the public were doing the Democrats' work by ignoring his successes. He stressed that he did not need the support of people who bought into false stories like Epstein's list, signing off with his MAGA slogan.
The POTUS's hoax rant follows the backlash surrounding the FBI's recent claims about Epstein's list never existing. Many called BS on the feds' statement because Attorney General Pam Bondi had allegedly been sitting on the list for months.
However, Bondi has walked back her claims, alongside FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, withwhom she allegedly clashed over the case. The Blast shared that a source claimed the pair did not see eye-to-eye over the investigation, and Bongino might quit if Bondi stayed.
The Investigation Into Epstein's Case Is Over

Despite Bongino and Bondi's alleged differences over the investigation, the pair presented a united front while denying the existence of Epstein's list. The document in question was rumored to contain the list of high-profile people the late sex offender blackmailed with their dirty secrets.
These public figures and celebrities were suspected of participating in Epstein's sex crimes. However, the FBI concluded that a "systematic review" of "300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence" uncovered from the late convict yielded no such list. Therefore, no third parties would be investigated in the case.
Additionally, the feds doubled down on Epstein's death being a suicide, noting the result of their investigations matched the initial reports from medical examiners. The deceased took his final breath on August 10, 2019, in his jail cell. However, his brother believed influential figures had silenced him.
Mark Epstein Slams The Ruling On His Brother's Death As 'Stupid'

The Blast covered Mark Epstein's reaction to the FBI's conclusion on his infamous brother's cause of death, reporting that he called BS on their claims. Mark found the situation ridiculous, arguing that the feds didn't get their story straight.
"Every time they say something or do something to try to quash the fact that he was most likely murdered, they just put their foot further down their mouths," Mark claimed during an interview. He also slammed FBI Director Kash Patel's comments on the case.
Mark berated Patel for using his experience as a prosecutor to declare the late child sex offender had died naturally by suicide. "When Kash Patel came out with that statement, I laughed at how stupid it was," he mocked the FBI director.
Elon Musk Doesn't Buy The Claims About Jeffrey Epstein's List

Trump's comments about Epstein's nonexistent list come days after one of his biggest supporters-turned-critics, Elon Musk, had weighed in on the situation. The Blast reported that he addressed the FBI claims on X, calling them clowns for doing a complete 180.
He shared a meme covering how the Epstein drama had progressed from claims of the list existing to promises of its release and finally the feds' recent denial. Musk's criticism continued in a separate post, writing: "What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again."
Musk previously butted heads with Trump over the alleged list, accusing the president of being responsible for the Feds' hesitance to release the document. He alleged the politician was named in the files in a since-deleted post following their fallout over the "One Big Beautiful" bill.
Could Donald Trump's "hoax" rant be his response to Elon Musk's claims about Jeffrey Epstein's list?
