The White House responded to reports linking Trump to Epstein case files, calling them "fake news" and unsurprising.

Trump denies any wrongdoing and is suing over claims he wrote Epstein a lewd note in 2003.

Officials say Trump cut ties with Epstein years ago and blame the media and Democrats for spreading false narratives, linking it to the "Obama Russiagate" controversy.

Meanwhile, Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard backed Trump’s allegations, asserting there has been a sustained effort to undermine him from within the government.

Epstein, a convicted offender connected to elites including Trump, died by suicide in 2019, sparking conspiracy theories.
