President Trump on Friday called out Bill Clinton and other friends of Jeffrey Epstein, including former Clinton Treasury Secretary and Harvard University President Larry Summers, telling the media they should be reporting on their ties to Epstein.
Trump was asked whether he would consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking girls with Epstein, amid her interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche said after his first five-hour interview.
Trump did not say whether he would consider pardoning Maxwell, but he did appear to hint at who Maxwell pointed the finger at.
“You ought to be speaking about Larry Summers, you ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys, they’re all over the place,” Trump said. “You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island.”
Larry Summers, a former economist for both Clinton and Obama, was a close associate of Epstein and also visited Epstein Island numerous times.
Trump was then asked if he sent a letter to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday, and he stated that the alleged letter, first described by the Wall Street Journal, was “fake.”
” Everything is fake with the Democrats. Take a look at what they just found about the dossier,” Trump told the reporter, nodding to the Russiagate documents and Obama’s use of the Clinton-funded Steele Dossier. “Everything is fake. They’re a bunch of sick people!”
As the Gateway Pundit reported, the Wall Street Journal claimed in a hit piece that President Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” letter for his 50th birthday depicting a naked woman.
President Trump denied that he wrote the letter and filed a lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal last week. “I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper,” Trump said when announcing his lawsuit.
WATCH:
Reporter: Have you heard about Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislane Maxwell, and would you consider a pardon or clemency for Ghislane Maxwell?
Trump: Well, I don’t want to talk about that. What I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney, but you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers, you ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys, they’re all over the place. You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island.
Reporter: Do you maintain that you did not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday?
Trump: I don’t even know what they’re talking about. Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name. That’s happened a lot. All you have to do is take a look at the dossier, the fake dossier. Everything is fake with that administration. Everything is fake with the Democrats. Take a look at what they just found about the dossier. Everything is fake. They’re a bunch of sick people!
Trump called out Clinton and Summers a second time earlier in the press gaggle.
“People should really focus on how well the country’s doing, or they should focus on the fact that Barack Hussein Obama led a coup, or they should focus on the fact that Larry Summers from Harvard, that Bill Clinton, who you know very well, and lots of other friends, really close friends of Jeffrey [Epstein] should be spoken about,” Trump said.
“I have nothing to do with the guy.”
