Asked if he had been briefed on the Epstein files by his own Attorney General, Donald Trump melted down and claimed everything in the documents was a hoax run by Comey, Garland, and Biden.
Trump's first response was that he was uninterested in it, which is a lie. The Epstein Files have rattled his MAGA base and swept him up into a maelstrom of media scrutiny and criticism.
Trump then ignorantly makes the case for their validity.
At first, he says they're a complete hoax and are phony documents. (He never mentioned the videos, but I digress.)
But then he claims that if there was something in those documents, President Biden would've used them against him—like he would.
Q: Mr. President, you have said that you have not been briefed on the Epstein files, or your name has not appeared in the Epstein files, but doesn't the AG have to tell you if your name is in there?
TRUMP: Well, I haven't been overly interested in it, you know, it's something, it's a hoax that's been built up way beyond proportion.
I can say this, those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland. They were run by Biden and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the auto pen.
Those files were run for four years by those people. If they had anything, I assume they would have released it.
If the Biden administration had orchestrated and created the Epstein files like he whines, then why didn't they use them?
