President Donald Trump criticized a reporter who asked about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, questioning why there was any buzz around the disgraced financier just one day after the Justice Department revealed there was no “client list.”
When confronted with a question about Epstein during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the president paused, expressing disbelief that “people are still talking about this creep.”
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” Trump began. “Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable.”
Trump promised to release the highly anticipated Epstein Files, among a trove of other documents in high-profile government investigations, to increase transparency.
“I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, when we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration,” Trump added.
