President Donald Trump responded sharply to a reporter's question about Jeffrey Epstein during a public interaction on July 8, 2025. Trump expressed disbelief that the topic of Epstein, whom he referred to as a "creep," continued to be discussed, stating that Epstein had been talked about for years. He questioned why people were still focusing on Epstein amid other pressing issues, including references to Texas and other matters. Trump characterized the question as a waste of time and appeared frustrated by the continued attention on Epstein. The exchange occurred in the presence of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and was widely reported across various media outlets.
