President Trump has urged the US to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein files, calling for a shift in focus away from the former friend's case. Speaking at the White House, Trump stated that it is time to "get on to something else," suggesting that nothing new would come out about him regarding Epstein.
Trump also expressed support for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who will testify before Congress about their association with Epstein. He praised Clinton as a "very capable woman" and complimented her debating skills, saying she was "better than some of the other people."
However, when pressed by CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins on what justice would look like for Epstein's victims, Trump lashed out at Collins, calling her the "worst reporter" and accusing her of being dishonest. He claimed that Collins' disposition was a result of fabricating stories about his administration.
Trump also criticized Collins for not smiling, suggesting that she is unhappy with her job due to the negative stories about him. He stated that CNN should be ashamed of its coverage of him and implied that Collins would benefit from working for a different network.
This incident follows Trump's previous personal attacks on Collins, whom he called "stupid and nasty" on social media after being questioned about the cost of a new White House ballroom. The president has a history of criticizing journalists who question his administration's actions or policies.
In recent years, Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors and served 13 months in prison. However, many have criticized Trump for his relationship with Epstein, which predates Trump's presidency. Some have accused Trump of being aware of Epstein's activities but choosing not to act on it during his time in office.
Despite the controversy surrounding Epstein, Trump continues to downplay its significance and push for a focus on other issues. However, many Democrats and critics argue that justice has not been fully served for Epstein's victims and that Trump's actions, or lack thereof, have hindered efforts to hold him accountable.

He thinks he can just move on from the whole Epstein thing and people will be like "okay cool"? I'm not buying it 
. The dude was convicted of sex trafficking minors and now we're supposed to just forget about it? No way, José! 
And what's with the comment about her not smiling? Is that really the best you've got, Prez? 
This is so messed up.
whole thing... like I remember when Bush was president and there were all these scandals with the NSA and stuff, but at least he owned up to it kinda. Now Trump's like "move on" - what does that even mean? He's got a history with Epstein, dude! 13 months in prison for sex trafficking minors isn't exactly a slap on the wrist, you know? 
And now he's basically saying Collins is the one who's unstable because she won't smile during an interview. Give me a break! 
the fact that trump is trying to shift the attention away from his own involvement with epstein is quite telling, don't you think? it's like he's trying to control the narrative and avoid accountability... 
but at the same time, his attacks on collins seem almost personal - like he's not just defending himself, but also attacking her very professionalism as a journalist. that's when i start wondering: what's the real reason behind his behavior? is it really just about protecting himself, or is there something deeper going on here?
