Part 5/8:
No discussion of Trump’s current stance would be complete without addressing the lingering controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. During the press conference, Trump was questioned about his past links to the convicted sex trafficker. He dismissed suggestions of personal drawing or fascination with Epstein’s activities, claiming he was not involved and had fallen out with Epstein long ago. Trump emphasized that he had never visited Epstein’s private island, where criminal acts allegedly occurred, and described severing ties as necessary to disentangle from the scandal.
