BREAKING:President Trump argues the country should move on from the Epstein files and lashes out when asked about the survivors’ response to the latest release from the Justice Department.

At a recent event in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about the Department of Justice’s latest release of millions of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. When asked what he would say to survivors of Epstein’s abuse who feel they haven’t gotten justice, Trump said it was time for the country to “move on” from the Epstein files. He framed the controversy as part of a conspiracy against him and said “nothing came out about me” from the documents.

When pressuring him further about the survivors’ concerns, Trump lashed out at a CNN reporter who asked the questions — calling her the “worst reporter,” criticizing her organization, and attacking her rather than directly addressing the issues raised.

📢 Reaction from survivors and critics
Survivors and their advocates have been highly critical of how the Justice Department released the documents. They say the latest batch was heavily redacted, made it difficult to search for important information, and didn’t comply fully with legal requirements — leaving many survivors frustrated that they still can’t see material that could help explain what happened or lead to accountability.

Lawmakers from both parties and legal experts have also expressed concerns about the partial nature of the release and the slow pace of transparency.

🧠 The broader context
The latest tranche included millions of pages of documents, photos, and other material as required by a law aimed at transparency. Despite that, many details remain redacted or withheld for privacy or other reasons, drawing continued criticism.
The political debate over how these files are handled has become contentious, involving questions about government transparency, the justice system’s treatment of victims, and Trump’s past social ties to Epstein. �
