For years, Donald Trump pushed the Jeffrey Epstein scandal into the center of American politics using interviews, rallies, and social media to demand investigations, question elites, and target rivals like the Clintons. He once called Epstein a “terrific guy,” but later claimed they had a falling out and distanced himself from any connection. After Trump entered politics, he turned the scandal into a weapon, amplifying flight logs, private jets, and insinuations about others. But in 2025, the spotlight flipped: as Congress debated releasing more unredacted Epstein files, newly surfaced emails, old conversations, victim statements, and media investigations began mentioning Trump himself. Critics called it karma; supporters saw a political trick. Trump responded by doubling down demanding full release of all files and dismissing any mentions of his name as targeted attacks.

00:00For years, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal was something Donald Trump pushed into the center
00:07of American politics.
00:12I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach, but I wish her well, whatever
00:17it is.
00:18I don't know the situation with Prince Andrew, just don't know, not aware of it.
00:22Picture in Palm Beach.
00:24I had a falling out with him a long time ago, I don't think I've spoken to him for 15 years.
00:28I wasn't a fan.
00:30I was not, yeah, a long time ago, I'd say maybe 15 years, I was not a fan of his.
00:37He talked about it in interviews.
00:39He posted about it online.
00:42He called for investigations and demanded that the whole truth come out.
00:47And every time he mentioned it, he made sure to point at his rivals, especially the Clintons.
00:54To Trump, the Epstein case wasn't just a crime story.
00:59It was proof that the country's powerful elite were hiding something dark.
01:05We have nothing to do with Epstein, the Democrats do.
01:08All of his friends were Democrats.
01:10You look at this Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they went to his island
01:16He used it to fire up crowds, attack political enemies and show that he was unafraid to take
01:27on anyone, even the rich and connected.
01:31But now, everything has flipped.
01:34The scandal Trump once used as a weapon is coming back toward him louder than ever.
01:42Trump and Epstein first crossed paths in the flashy world of 1980s and 90s New York.
01:49Trump even once called Epstein a terrific guy who liked beautiful women on the younger side.
02:05I've known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy.
02:10He's a lot of fun to be with.
02:12It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the
02:17younger side.
02:19No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life.
02:26For Trump's critics, that quote has always been a red flag.
02:31For his supporters, it was just an offhand comment from decades ago.
02:36Trump says the two eventually had a falling out.
02:40He claims he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior toward a young girl.
02:46He insists he wasn't close to Epstein at all and denies ever going to Epstein's island.
02:53Fixture in Palm Beach.
02:55I had a falling out with him a long time ago.
02:57I don't think I've spoken to him for 15 years.
02:59I wasn't a fan.
03:01I was not.
03:02Yeah, a long time ago.
03:03I'd say maybe 15 years.
03:05I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you.
03:07I was not a fan of his.
03:10When Trump entered politics, the Epstein scandal became part of his message.
03:16He demanded investigations.
03:18He pushed the idea that others, especially Bill Clinton, were hiding something.
03:24He talked about flight logs, private planes, and secret connections.
03:30And people listened.
03:31The more he talked, the more headlines the scandal produced.
03:35This year, everything changed.
03:38As Congress debated releasing more unredacted Epstein files, all eyes turned unexpectedly
03:45toward Trump himself.
03:46Now the black book is under your direct control.
03:50So why haven't you released the names of Epstein's co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking
03:55of young women and girls?
03:57We have released more material than anyone else before.
04:00The Biden administration, Obama administration had the exact opportunities to release this
04:03material and they never did.
04:05Prohibiting future investigations.
04:11We are working with Congress to produce more than any administration ever has material on
04:15Epstein.
04:16Suddenly, the same scandal Trump promoted was now including him in the headlines.
04:22I suffered so much pain.
04:25So much pain.
04:26I was 14 years old.
04:27I was 16 years old.
04:28I was 16.
04:2917.
04:3014 years old.
04:31Commentators called it pro-etic, critics called it karma.
04:37One Bloomberg article even said Trump had been caught in his own trap.
04:43Instead of retreating, Trump went on the offensive.
04:46He demanded the full release of unclassified Epstein files.
04:51He called for new DOJ probes focused mainly on Clinton and Epstein's financial network.
04:58He dismissed the new mentions of his name as political tricks.
05:04His message was simple.
05:06If you want the truth, release everything.
05:10We have nothing to do with Epstein, the Democrats do.
05:13All of his friends were Democrats.
05:15You look at this Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton.
05:20They went to his island all the time and many others, they're all Democrats.
05:24All I want is I want for people to recognize a great job that I've done on pricing, on affordability
05:31because we brought prices way down, but they're going way lower on energy, on ending eight wars
05:38and another one coming pretty soon, I believe.
05:42We've done a great job.
05:43And I hate to see that deflect from the great job we've done.
05:49So I'm all for it.
05:50You know, we've already given 50,000 pages.
05:52You do know that.
05:54Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Martin Luther King situation, not to
06:00put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category, but no matter what we give, it's never enough.
06:05You know, with Kennedy, we gave everything and it wasn't enough.
06:08With Martin Luther King, we gave everything and it's never enough.
06:13We've already given, I believe the number is 50,000 pages, 50,000 pages.
06:20And it's just a Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.
06:25I believe that many of the people that we, some of the people that we mentioned are being
06:32looked at very seriously for their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, but they were with him all
06:38the time.
06:39I wasn't.
06:40I wasn't at all.
06:41And we'll see what happens.
06:42What I just don't want Epstein to do is detract from the great success of the Republican Party.
06:51To his supporters, this showed confidence.
06:54To his critics, it looked like panic disguised as strength.
07:00The reaction across America is split.
07:03Polls show no major drop in Trump's support.
07:07His base remains loyal.
07:10But online conversations are louder than ever.
07:15One thing is clear.
07:17The Epstein scandal has pulled Trump back into a spotlight he thought he could control.
07:23But this time, he isn't the one steering the story.
07:26In politics, scandals often work like boomerangs.
07:30You throw them hard at your enemies and sometimes they swing back.
07:35For years, Trump aimed the Epstein scandal at others.
07:39He amplified it.
07:41He weaponized it.
07:42He made it part of his brand.
07:44Now the same scandal, the same names, the same accusations, the same documents is cycling back
07:51toward him.
07:53One thing is undeniable.
07:55The Epstein scandal that Trump once fuelled is now burning right at his doorstep.
08:01And the world is watching to see what happens next.
