President Donald Trump used a Christmas message posted online to revive his long standing claims of a political witch hunt tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, criticizing Democrats and the news media as the Justice Department acknowledged a major delay in releasing records related to the late sex offender.
Trump’s remarks, posted Thursday night on Truth Social, accused unnamed political opponents and media outlets of falsely linking him to Epstein while shielding others he claimed had closer ties to the convicted sex offender, Newsweek reported.
“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so,” Trump wrote.
He continued, “When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt plus one lowlife ‘Republican,’ Massie, and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story, a total Scam, and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP.’”
Trump also criticized the New York Times and other media outlets in the post, accusing them of inaccurate reporting and reputational harm.
“The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election ‘Reporting,’ even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate FAKE coverage,” Trump wrote.
“Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished,” he added.
“But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics,” Trump wrote. “Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump.”
