White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats for hypocrisy over the Jeffrey Epstein files during a Fox News interview. She accused Democrats of suddenly caring about transparency after doing nothing during their time in power. Leavitt defended President Trump’s handling of the case, stating he ordered a thorough review.
Leavitt pointed out that Democrats controlled the White House for four years but ignored Epstein’s crimes. She called their sudden interest “asinine” and politically motivated. The press secretary emphasized that Trump’s administration actually investigated the case when others didn’t.
President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to review all Epstein files. Leavitt praised them as “great patriots” who did exhaustive work. Their investigation took months and produced a detailed memo with clear findings.
The review found no evidence requiring charges against others involved with Epstein. Some materials weren’t released because they contained child pornography, which Leavitt called inappropriate for public viewing. This decision protected decency while providing transparency.
Leavitt dismissed media coverage as overblown, arguing Epstein isn’t the top concern for hardworking Americans. She accused Democrats and the media of creating a distraction from real issues. The press secretary stressed that Trump delivered on his promise for an investigation.
Democrats now demand transparency they never sought when in power. Leavitt highlighted this hypocrisy while defending the administration’s actions. She noted Trump actually followed through where others failed.
The White House considers the matter settled and views continued questions as political theater. Leavitt reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to truth and accountability. She closed by saying Trump focuses on real problems facing Americans.
