Trump breaks silence on Epstein: "I threw him out… He was perverted and sick"

ALBAWABA - As Congress prepares to vote on whether to release sensitive documents related to the late financier's sexual crime cases, U.S. President Donald Trump vehemently denied any affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.

Trump maintained that he had broken off his relationship with Epstein a long time ago while speaking from the Oval Office. He claimed to have personally kicked Epstein out of his private clubs "many years ago," calling him "a perverted, sick individual." His comments coincide with growing interest in a congressional vote that could reveal previously hidden information from the Epstein archives.

Despite Trump's repeated assertions that he broke off his relationship with Epstein in 2004, recently leaked emails reveal that Epstein made reference to Trump in private correspondence. Epstein called Trump “the dog that didn’t bark” in one 2011 message, asking why the primary accuser, later revealed to be Virginia Giuffre, had not mentioned Trump by name. "Trump knew what was happening inside his house," according to another 2019 email.

Trump has now urged House Republicans to back the release of the Epstein files, reversing previous political positions. He has claimed that the goal is solely political and has framed the entire controversy as a "Democratic hoax orchestrated by far-left extremists."

Both parties are still sharply split on how to handle and disclose the Epstein case, and the congressional vote is predicted to exacerbate the debate in Washington.
