Trump Denies Ties to Epstein as Records Move Forward
Trump says he had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein as lawmakers weigh releasing records related to the convicted financier.
President Trump pushed back on questions about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he has nothing to do with the convicted sex offender. The remarks come as the political spotlight stays fixed on Epstein and the broader fallout from the ongoing news cycle.
Lawmakers are expected to vote on whether to release records tied to Epstein, a move that could intensify the scrutiny around Trump's past associations.
In addition to the record-keeping debate, Trump has taken aim at media coverage, including calls to revoke ABC News' license over a related Epstein question.
As the Epstein story lingers, analysts say the episode offers a reminder of how tantalizing, and polarizing, such ties can be for a sitting president and a national audience.
