Donald Trump raged at ‘weak Republicans’ amid the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein email scandal just hours after the White House attempted to soften his image by showing the president entertaining young children.
Republicans, earlier this week, published 23,000 pages of emails from Jeffrey Epstein where the billionaire pedophile claims he has a blackmail on ‘dirty Donald.’
‘The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein Hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing 50,000 pages of documents,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning.
‘Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish. Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem! Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers about Epstein, they know all about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a country to run!’
Epstein said one of his victims, Virginia Giuffre, ‘spent hours’ alone with Trump. Shortly before her passing in April, Giuffre said Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions.
Democrats on the committee also released a selective batch of emails where Epstein referred to Trump in correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell and the author Michael Wolff over a period of at least eight years.
Amid the fallout from the email debacle, the White House deployed young children to surround the president in a tender moment caught on video in the Oval Office.
In the video, Trump offers gifts to the grandchildren of journalist Salena Zito at the Resolute Desk.

The heartfelt moment, which has since racked up over 500,000 on X, shows a young boy asking the president his name as he accepts Trump’s gift.
‘My name is Donald,’ Trump says with a soft grin. The White House told reporters that the children had stopped by the Oval Office just to say hello to the president.
Trump also asks the children if they would like gold coins and presidential pens as a gift.
‘She said yes — she’s smart,’ the president says with a laugh after one of the children accepts his offer. ‘She’s so cute.’
The viral clip, which was posted by White House communications adviser Margo Martin, ends with Trump handing out pens to Zito’s grandchildren.
‘OK, do you want a pen?’ Trump says. ‘One of them. One, two, three.’
The short video provided a behind-the-scenes look at the president’s softer side amid the meltdown from the Epstein scandal. Trump, 79, has 11 grandchildren and is the father to four children.
The White House issued a statement downplaying the Epstein emails following their release on Wednesday. The House Oversight Committee obtained the deceased pedophile’s emails via a subpoena of Epstein’s estate.
Karoline Leavitt called the email dump a politically-motivated ‘smear’ campaign and repeated Giuffre’s former statements about Trump in which she absolved him of any wrongdoing.
‘The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump,’ Leavitt said in a statement.

Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year, was recruited by Maxwell while employed as a spa attendant at the Mar-a-Lago Club in 2000. She was 16 years old.
Trump expelled Epstein from his club around October 2007 ‘for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre,’ Leavitt said.
