WATCH LIVE: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Delivers Press Briefing Amid Epstein Chaos – 1 PM ET
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will deliver a press briefing this afternoon as the administration grapples with fallout from the Epstein case.
This comes after President Trump released a statement on Wednesday, labeling the Epstein Files another Democrat “hoax” and condemning his “PAST supporters,” saying, “I don’t want their support anymore!”
Trump further slammed Republicans, calling them “stupid" and "foolish” for talking about Epstein during an Oval Office Press Conference. “The sad part is it’s people that are really doing the Democrats’ work,” he said.
“I was surprised, but they got duped,” he said of Republicans who aren’t satisfied with Bondi’s nothingburger of a release and claims that Epstein killed himself.
Trump has, however, reportedly said he would be willing to appoint a special prosecutor to take over the Epstein investigation.
And last night, The Gateway Pundit reported that Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was finally fired as a federal prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office on Wednesday. Trump has blamed James Comey as one of the actors behind the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax."
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are introducing legislation to release all of the files.
Leavitt was grilled with questions about Epstein last week, and more are expected today.
Also likely to come up is legislation that was introduced by a Republican on Friday to grant mass amnesty to illegals, as President Trump shows support for a "work program" to keep illegal alien agriculture and hospitality employees in the United States.
The press briefing is scheduled to begin at 1 pm ET.
