Trump Points Fingers at Clinton and Summers in Epstein Case Firestorm

In a fiery exchange with reporters while heading to Scotland, President Donald Trump shifted the spotlight in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga, pointing fingers at former President Bill Clinton and ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Trump insisted that the media should be digging into their connections rather than revisiting old ground.

His comments follow a recent meeting between U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell in Florida, amidst growing frustration over the Trump administration's refusal to unseal further investigative materials on Epstein. Trump doubled down on accusations regarding Clinton, alleging ties to Epstein’s infamous private island—a claim Clinton has repeatedly denied, most recently in his 2024 memoir Citizen, where he expressed regret over ever crossing paths with the disgraced financier.

Adding fuel to the fire, the Department of Justice and FBI have declared their review of the Epstein case closed, stating no new documents will be released and no additional individuals will face charges. This has sparked outrage among some conservatives who demand transparency. Trump, however, seemed to dismiss the public’s fixation on the case, remarking that Epstein, long deceased, was never a significant figure in life and that all credible information has already been shared.

Meanwhile, Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking of a minor among other charges, remains a focal point. Blanche has promised further updates following additional discussions with her, leaving the door ajar for potential revelations. Yet, for now, the Epstein files remain a locked vault, and Trump’s pointed remarks at Clinton and Summers keep the controversy simmering.
