Trump tells reporter asking about Epstein files: 'Be quiet'

U.S. President Donald Trump was asked a question last Friday aboard the presidential aircraft Air Force One regarding his name appearing in the emails of U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein's claim that "Trump had knowledge about the girls." Trump responded to the question by saying, "I know nothing about it. If there were anything to it, they would have revealed it by now."

Emphasizing that his relationship with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of establishing a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls and was found dead in prison, had been very bad for many years, Trump said, "You're going to find out what he knew about Bill Clinton, you're going to find out what he knew about the head of Harvard, you're going to find out what he knew about all the people he knew. JP Morgan Chase is involved in this too."

HE CUT THE QUESTION SHORT BY SAYING "BE QUIET"

In the video released by the White House, it was seen that Trump silenced the reporter, who began the question by saying, "Sir, if there is no criminal element in the files, why," by saying, "Quiet, be quiet, pig" at that moment.

The emails of the U.S. businessman Epstein, who played a role as a kind of connector among politicians, financiers, scientists, and high-profile social circles in the U.S. and Europe before the sexual abuse scandal, were released last week by Democratic politicians who are members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee. In the emails, it was seen that while mentioning U.S. President Donald Trump, Epstein wrote that Trump was aware of the girls who were victims of sexual abuse and had "spent hours" with a sexual abuse victim.

Following the release of the emails in which Trump's name was mentioned, the White House accused Democratic politicians of releasing "selective" emails to take events out of context and trying to create a false narrative against U.S. President Trump.
