Donald Trump has accused Jeffrey Epstein of trying to thwart his election victory last year during a furious press conference on Tuesday. Speaking from the White House, the US President said he “didn’t know to much about” about the files but did know “who he is”. “It’s too bad,” Mr Trump added. 

The US leader then went on to discuss American journalist Michael Wolff, who, Mr Trump said, “conspired” with Epstein “against me in order to fight like hell to make sure I lose the election”. “That was he only thing mentioned about me” in the millions of files released last Friday (January 30). Continuing his bizarre rant, Mr Trump went on to say that there was some “really bad stuff” about Democrats in the files, “but about me, that Wolff, whoever Wolff is […] and Epstein conspired against me […] so I lose the election, or worse. So that takes care of Epstein as far as Trump is concerned.”
