The White House firmly defended former President Donald Trump following the Democratic release of emails concerning Jeffrey Epstein. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Trump “did nothing wrong” in his dealings with the disgraced financier.
Democratic officials released communications suggesting Trump possessed awareness of Epstein’s sexual misconduct. The documents also indicated the former president spent considerable time with one identified victim.
Karoline Leavitt addressed journalists directly during Wednesday’s press briefing. She emphasised Trump’s proactive measures against Epstein before his presidency.
“Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Mar-a-Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep,” Leavitt stated definitively.

The released communications allegedly connect Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. Democrats suggest the documents demonstrate Trump’s awareness of the financier’s abuse of underage girls.
This development occurs amid ongoing political debates about accountability for powerful figures linked to Epstein. The White House response aims to preemptively counter potential political damage from the email disclosures.
