On July 8, 2025, President Donald Trump responded sharply to questions from reporters regarding Jeffrey Epstein. During a cabinet meeting and subsequent exchanges with the press, Trump expressed disbelief that Epstein continued to be a topic of discussion, stating, "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy has been talked about for years." He referred to Epstein as "this creep" and questioned the relevance of the inquiries at the current time, emphasizing other pressing matters such as issues related to Texas. Trump repeatedly conveyed that he found the continued focus on Epstein to be "unbelievable" and suggested that asking about Epstein was a waste of time. These remarks came amid ongoing public interest and recent FBI disclosures related to Epstein, though Trump appeared intent on shifting attention away from the subject during his remarks.
