"Epstein Files Were Managed by the Biden Administration...
If There Was Anything, They Would Have Released It"
U.S. President Donald Trump has once again denied the so-called 'Epstein allegations' surrounding him, stating, "I am not someone who draws women."
On the 28th (local time) in Scotland, United Kingdom, President Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. When asked by reporters about the allegations, he responded, "I am not someone who draws," and added, "I especially do not draw women. I can say that clearly," denying the allegations.
President Trump reiterated, "Those people (who attack me) claim there are drawings of women, but I do not draw women." He further explained, "Sometimes, at charity events, people ask me to draw a building, and all I do is draw four lines and put a small roof on top. That's all."
Previously, President Trump had explained, "I do not draw," but sketches he donated to charity organizations in the early 2000s appeared at auction, leading to renewed controversy over his claim that he does not draw. Considering this, President Trump's remarks about drawing buildings on this day are interpreted as an admission that he once roughly sketched buildings and donated them to charity organizations.
President Trump also commented on the 'Epstein files,' which contain records of the Epstein investigation. He stated, "Those files were managed by people who ran the (Joe Biden) administration for four years," and argued, "If they had anything, they would have already released it." He continued, "I faced off against the person who managed those files (former President Biden)," and questioned, "If there was something, why wouldn't they have used it when I was dominating Biden in the (presidential) race?"
Meanwhile, when asked about the possibility of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former lover and accomplice, President Trump said, "I have the authority to grant a pardon, but no one has suggested it," and avoided a direct answer by saying, "It is not appropriate to talk about that now."
The U.S. Department of Justice recently interviewed Maxwell, who is currently incarcerated, at the direction of President Trump, and has decided to release the contents soon. Some speculate that discussions about pardoning Maxwell are a tactic to induce statements favorable to President Trump.
