President Trump has urged the US to move beyond the Jeffrey Epstein files, a case that has drawn renewed attention in recent days. The president made his comments during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday, where he stated that it's time for the country to "get on to something else."
Trump's remarks come as investigators and lawmakers continue to scrutinize the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death and his connections to the Trump administration. However, the president has consistently pushed back against scrutiny of his own involvement with Epstein.
When pressed by reporter Kaitlan Collins about what justice would look like for Epstein's victims, Trump responded by lashing out at Collins, calling her a "stupid" and "nasty" reporter. He also accused CNN of fabricating stories about his administration and suggested that the network was responsible for the low ratings.
Trump's personal attacks on Collins have become familiar in recent months, as the president has repeatedly clashed with reporters who have challenged his actions or questioned his credibility. The incident highlights the tensions between Trump and the media establishment, which he continues to view as "fake news" hostile towards him.
In contrast, Trump expressed support for Bill Clinton, who will testify before Congress about his association with Epstein. The president praised Clinton's intelligence and debating skills, stating that she is a "smart woman." However, this praise may be seen by some as an attempt to shift attention away from the controversies surrounding the Clinton family.
The push to move on from the Epstein files has been welcomed by many, who see it as a necessary step towards healing and accountability. However, Trump's refusal to cooperate with investigations into his own involvement with Epstein and his repeated attempts to deflect criticism have raised questions about the president's commitment to transparency and justice.
As the nation continues to grapple with the legacy of Jeffrey Epstein, one thing is clear: President Trump's leadership on this issue has been marked by a pattern of evasions and personal attacks.

... Like, I get it, Trump thinks he's above scrutiny, but come on! The dude just lashed out at a reporter who was asking legitimate questions 
. And instead of addressing the Epstein files, he tries to shift attention to Clinton? Give me a break 
. It's like he's trying to avoid accountability or something. I mean, can't we just get some real transparency here? 
The way he's handling this situation is just so... Trump 
. We need more of that kind of pushback against the status quo 
.
But the truth is, we need answers about what really went down with Epstein and how it relates to his own administration 
The president's constant deflection and attacks on the media only serve to fuel the conspiracy theories 
And let's not forget Bill Clinton is a whole different can of worms 
If Trump is going to praise Clinton for being a "smart woman", shouldn't he be asking himself why he was so tight with Epstein in the first place? 
.
. who tries to shut down a conversation about a super serious case like epstein's death? it's time for him to own up to his involvement and cooperate with the investigation 
. meanwhile, praising bill clinton for being smart is just laughable 
- talk about deflecting attention from your own shady dealings 
. the media isn't doing trump any favors by calling out his antics, but it's also clear that they're not holding him accountable enough 
. can we please get back to some real journalism here? 
. Trump's constant push to deflect attention from his own involvement is getting old - it's time for him to take responsibility for his actions or at least show some willingness to cooperate with the investigation 
. As a journalist, she has every right to hold him accountable for his actions and Trump's response is just going to fuel more outrage.
.
.
But Trump's refusal to cooperate or even acknowledge some of his own connections to Epstein makes it hard for people to trust him.
but at the same time, it's weird how Trump's always trying to shift the focus away from himself 
maybe we should just wait for him to get impeached or something 
. And can we please get over how Collins called him "stupid" and "nasty"? That's just a minor scratch compared to what's really going on here... like, what's Trump's story with Epstein again? He's always changing his tune or denying everything 
But nope, Trump is still trying to deflect attention away from his own involvement 
. Like, Kaitlan Collins was just asking questions, not attacking him! 
.
. Can't we at least have some respect for the victims and their families? 
. It's time for him to be held accountable, don't you think?
