Trump floats appointing a special prosecutor to put Epstein ‘hoax’ to bed forever as he blasts ‘duped’ supporters

President Donald Trump signaled support for appointing a special prosecutor who could further investigate the bombshell case of financier and convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein.
Trump spoke about the case in an interview with John Solomon of JustTheNews.com and signaled his support for an independent investigator to look into the weaponization of DOJ against conservatives in the 2016 election.
The president also volunteered that the special prosecutor could look into the Epstein files as well.
‘I think they could look at all of it. It’s all the same scam. They could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also, because that’s the same stuff that’s all put out by Democrats,’ Trump said when asked what he’d most like to see the FBI investigate.
Trump expressed concerns that former intelligence and law enforcement officials could have tampered with evidence surrounding Epstein case.
‘I can imagine what they put into files, just like they did with the others. I mean, the Steele dossier was a total fake, right? It took two years to figure that out,’ he said, referring to former FBI directors James Comey and Christopher Wray.
He described the case as a ‘hoax’ and lamented that Republicans were still hung up on the case despite an effort by the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to put the controversial case behind them.

‘But they ought to look into the Jeffrey Epstein hoax too, because that’s another hoax that’s frankly, put out by the Democrats pushing, pushing the Republicans, and put out by the Democrats,’ he added.
The president and his administration has faced growing controversy after the Justice Department announced in a memo that there was no evidence to support the conspiracy theory that Epstein was murdered in prison and that he did not have a client ‘list’ that they could release.
The news sparked outrage from the president’s followers who anticipated the eventual release of the files after Trump promised during his presidential campaign to release them.
Congressional Democrats jumped on the case, further exploiting the disappointment from Trump’s base, even suggesting the president was tied up with the Epstein case and covering it up.
Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office he was discouraged by many of his supporters clinging to the case.
‘I’ve lost a lot of faith in certain people, yeah, I’ve lost. Because they got duped by the Democrats,’ he told reporters.
On Wednesday, Trump also berated his followers on social media for their focus on the ‘Epstein scam’ he said was perpetrated by Democrats.
‘Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,’ he wrote.

He criticized Republicans and his MAGA supporters for not focusing on his successes and distracting the public with the case.
‘Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!’ he added.
On Tuesday, Trump tried to dismiss the case as ‘boring’ and said he did not understand why the case was so important to his supporters.
‘He’s dead for a long time,’ Trump said of the disgraced financier. ‘He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.’
The president spoke about the issue that threatens to further plague his presidency after a trip to Pennsylvania on Air Force One.
‘It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going,’ he said to reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews.
Epstein’s associate Ghislane Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida after she was convicted in June 2022 for conspiring with her boss Epstein in the sexual exploitation of minors.
The White House dismissed any notion of Trump pardoning Maxwell.
‘There have been no discussions or consideration of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, and there never will be,’ a senior White House official told the Daily Mail.
