US President Donald Trump, during a press gaggle, refuted claims linking him to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, asserting his exoneration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Trump's transparency in severing ties with Epstein, highlighting the release of Epstein documents to support his consistent stance.

US President Donald Trump has once more dismissed allegations connecting him to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier facing federal charges before his death in 2019. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump proclaimed his exoneration, insisting he had no connections to Epstein and stressing the findings confirming this.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt supported Trump's claims, revealing that Trump had expelled Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club due to his disreputable conduct. During a press briefing, Leavitt underscored that Trump's consistent denouncement of Epstein reflects his commitment to transparency, illustrated by the recent release of Epstein-related documents.

Leavitt reiterated that Trump's actions and statements concerning Epstein have been truthful, distancing him from the scandal that entangled numerous prominent figures. Although Trump's name frequently emerges amid ongoing discussions, he remains firm in denying any misconduct, pointing to the severance of their relationship in the early 2000s.
