Amid a flurry of newly unsealed files, the White House has responded forcefully to inquiries about President Trump’s historical Epstein relationship. Spokesperson Caroline Leavitt outlined the timeline of separation and rallied behind Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in a detailed press session.
Trump’s expulsion of Epstein from Mar-a-Lago remains central to the narrative. ‘He’s always been upfront: Epstein’s behavior warranted removal,’ Leavitt explained. The President, she added, publicly detailed the cutoff well before the financier’s legal troubles peaked.
A highlighted document alludes to a 2000s-era call with Palm Beach police. ‘It could be real or not—no firm intel,’ Leavitt noted, refocusing on the confirmed club ban.
The massive dump of over 3 million Epstein pages underscores a transparency pledge. Leavitt framed it as a bold step toward accountability in a case riddled with elite entanglements.
Pardon talks for Ghislaine Maxwell? ‘Off the table entirely,’ she confirmed.
Lutnick, facing questions over his own Epstein admissions on the Hill, earned staunch defense: ‘A cornerstone of our team—fully supported by the President.’
Leavitt capped with upbeat news: Friday’s Dow breakthrough past 50,000 and a court-backed migrant detention strategy yielding nine months of secure southern borders.
From Epstein’s trafficking accusations and 2019 death to Maxwell’s guilty verdict, the scandal endures due to its powerful figures. Critics press for more on document-linked individuals, while the administration prioritizes verified history.
