4. He thinks that if he repeats "hoax" for months, people will forget the Epstein case files are actual trial evidence.

"...The people should know I ended seven wars....."

Since July 2025, Trump's stance has been that the Epstein files are falsified documents created by his political opponents, such as the Biden administration, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton.[141][140] As of September 2025, he continued to maintain that the story was a "Democrat hoax".[134]

Trump has urged the media to shift their attention from the Epstein files case to his theory involving a group including Obama, Clinton, James Comey, and James Clapper, whom he accuses of attempting to rig the 2016 and 2020 elections. He has also called on the Department of Justice to prosecute them for treason and sedition.[142]

On July 18, the day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had written a 50th birthday card to Epstein 22 years previously, Trump sued the newspaper (specifically, two reporters, owner Rupert Murdoch, and parent companies Dow Jones and News Corp) for defamation and libel.[143] On July 21, the White House removed them from the press pool for his Scotland trip.[144]
