In the Oval Office earlier today, President Trump was asked multiple questions about the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Transcript
00:00Mr. President, Mr. President, I know you want to move past all this intrigue over the Epstein files,
00:04but I do want to ask you to clarify something you said this morning.
00:07You said this was all a hoax. Has your attorney general told you this was a hoax?
00:10What evidence have you seen of that?
00:12No, it's not the attorney general, no. I know it's a hoax. It's started by Democrats.
00:16It's been run by the Democrats for four years.
00:18You had Christopher Wray and these characters and Comey before him.
00:22And it's a bad group. It started, actually, look at the Steele dossier that turned out to be a total hoax.
00:28The 51 agents, the intelligence, so-called intelligence agents, it was a hoax.
00:34It's all been a big hoax. It's perpetrated by the Democrats.
00:37And some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net.
00:42And so they try and do the Democrats' work.
00:45The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes.
00:48They're bad for policy. They're bad for picking candidates that can get elected.
00:54Like in New York, we have a communist running.
00:57He may get elected, too, actually, but he's going to destroy the city.
01:02No, no, it's I call it the Epstein hoax.
01:04It takes a lot of time and effort.
01:06Instead of talking about the great achievements, we've had a great gentleman yesterday, as you know,
01:12went on CNBC, and he made the statement that Trump may go down as the greatest president of all in the United States.
01:19And instead of talking about the things we've achieved, we've had tremendous achievement.
01:24They're wasting their time with a guy who obviously had some very serious problems who died three or four years ago.
01:33I'd rather talk about the success we have with the economy, the best we've ever had, and all of the things we've done, including the Middle East.
01:42I mean, you see it.
01:43Instead, they want to talk about the Epstein hoax.
01:46And the sad part is it's people that are really doing the Democrats' work.
01:53They're stupid people.
01:53Yeah, go ahead.
01:55It's really well.
01:56And people are seeing it.
01:59Yeah.
02:01Will you ask Attorney General Pambani to release more documents to finally put this controversy to bed?
02:06Whatever's credible, she can release it.
02:09If a document is credible, if a document's there that is credible, she can release.
02:14I think it's good.
02:16But it's just really, it's just a subject.
02:19He's dead.
02:20He's gone.
02:21And all it is is the Republicans, certain Republicans, got duped by the Democrats.
02:27And they're following a Democrat playbook.
02:30And no different than Russia, Russia, Russia, and all the other hoaxes.
02:35They're started by the Democrats.
02:37And some Republicans, in this case, I was surprised, but they got duped.
02:43But have you talked about it?
02:44Have you talked about it with her in the last few days?
02:50Mr. President, first of all, a number of your high-ranking officials, whether it's been your FBI director or Pam Bondi, they have made some inconsistent statements in the past.
02:59You've had...
02:59Well, I don't know.
03:00I can't speak about him.
03:01But I can say that Pam Bondi, I really think that she's done very good.
03:06She says, I gave you all the credible information.
03:10And if she finds any more credible information, she'll give that, too.
03:14What more can she do than that?
03:15I mean, honestly, what more can she do?
03:17And we do have bigger problems.
03:19You know, we have problems with millions of illegal people that came in here and they're killers and murderers.
03:25We have 11,888 murderers that were allowed into our country by Biden, sleepy Joe Biden, stupid Joe Biden.
03:34He allowed him into our country.
03:35And you know what?
03:36We've got to do something about it.
03:37She's got a lot of things she's working on.
03:39And, you know, it's very sad that somebody can be waylaid, just get waylaid.
03:45But she's, she's, I think she's doing a great job, personally.
03:49In the truth section this morning, you mentioned past supporters when you were talking about the Epstein issue.
03:58Does that mean that you're effectively disowning any supporters who are now going on?
04:01I lost a lot of faith in certain people.
04:03Yeah, I lost, because they got duped by the Democrats.
04:06The Democrats are good for nothing.
04:08They've done a terrible job.
04:10They almost destroyed our country.
04:12If I didn't get elected, all these numbers you're hearing about, they found $25 billion and another 25 is coming in and hundreds of billions of dollars is pouring into our country.
04:22And we just got the biggest tax cut in history.
04:24We just got the biggest regulation cuts in history.
04:28There'll be no tax on tips.
04:29There'll be no tax on Social Security.
04:32There'll be no tax on overtime.
04:34There'll be no tax on so many other things.
04:36You're allowed to deduct your interest from a car payment.
04:39That's never happened before.
04:40You borrow interest, you borrow money to buy a car, if the car is made in America.
04:47And by the way, factories are being built all over America, car factories, AI factories.
04:52But you get a deduction on your interest.
04:54Nobody ever thought of that before.
04:55It never happened before.
04:57And, you know, these are the things that they should be talking about.
05:00The big, beautiful bill is one of the greatest pieces of legislation ever in this country.
05:07And the Democrats have nothing to combat it.
05:10So they say, oh, it's death.
05:13Death.
05:14Oh, that's good.
05:16And then they give it to the fake news, which is you and a few others.
05:19And the fake news talks about the bill is death.
05:22The bill is actually life.
05:23The bill is life and it saves our country.
05:26This bill is incredible.
05:27Look at the results already.
05:29So we have $16 trillion being invested in our country.
05:34And this great gentleman and his family just came in with another billions of dollars.
05:38And if he didn't like the country, if he didn't like where we were going, he's very smart.
05:45He wouldn't, he'd come, maybe he'd come, maybe he wouldn't even come.
05:48I think maybe he wouldn't even come.
05:49You'd save your time.
05:50But, you know, it's one of those things.
05:52But if he didn't like where this country was, he wouldn't be investing billions of dollars in this country.
05:57But think of it, $16 trillion more than has ever been even contemplated before.
06:04And we haven't even started yet.
06:06So that's what I want to talk about.
06:08I want to talk about the success.
06:10And the Democrats have nothing to show for what they do.
06:13They almost destroyed.
06:15They allowed 25 million people to come into our country, gang members, jailbirds, from all over the world, not South America, from all over the world.
06:26They allowed them to come into our country from mental institutions, insane asylums, just walk right through.
06:32They couldn't come into your country.
06:34They couldn't come into any country in the world except our country.
06:38And they came in from the worst places, gang members, drug dealers.
06:44They all came in.
06:45Turn it off, please.
06:47They all came in.
06:49And I'm doing something about it.
06:52We have it under check right now.
06:54We got rid of a lot of the murderers already.
06:57Some of them we put in our prisons because they're so bad we don't want to take a chance in putting them in a foreign prison and have them come back.
07:04But we've done a great job.
07:06Our country is in great shape.
07:08We literally have the hottest country anywhere in the world right now.
07:12And it's true what the king said, what a lot of people said, we were a dead country.
07:18One year ago, one year ago, we were a dead country.
07:22We were left at all over the world.
07:24We had Afghanistan.
07:27We had a horrible embarrassment.
07:28Most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
07:32Look what happened with Russia and Ukraine.
07:34That should have never happened.
07:36Look what happened with Israel.
07:37That would have never happened.
07:39Hamas had no money.
07:41Iran had no money.
07:42There was no money to do an attack like that.
07:45All these things that happened that wouldn't have happened if you had good leadership.
07:48And that's what you should be talking about.
07:50Thank you very much.
07:59Thank you, friends.
