Donald Trump Reportedly Worried About Backlash Over Epstein Files: 'They're Going To F--k Me'

President Donald Trump is reportedly worried about the backlash from his ties with disgraced financier and child abuser Jeffrey Epstein, recently saying "they're going to f--k me."

Politico reported on Thursday that the president was overheard saying that he had nothing to do with Epstein's crimes, but that he would be accused of "some funny business." "They're going to f--k me anyways," he added.

Trump's ties with Epstein has become a major political scandal for his administration, with recent developments keeping the issue at the top of the political conversation. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal detailed that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that his name appeared in the Epstein files.

The outlet added that Justice Department officials saw Trump's name several times while reviewing what Bondi has described as a "truckload" of documents related to the disgraced financier and sex trafficker. She added that many other high-profile figures were also named, and the outlet noted that being mentioned is not a sign of wrongdoing.

Officials said the files had unverified hearsay about many people who had socialized with Epstein in the past, including Trump. They added that they were not planning on releasing additional files because they contained child pornography and victims' personal information.

The White House rejected the report, with White House communications director Steven Cheung calling it "another fake news story, just like the previous story by The Wall Street Journal."

He was making reference to a previous story by the WSJ, which alleged that Trump sent a "bawdy" letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday. Trump also rejected doing it and sued The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp and Rupert Murdoch as a result.

"If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago," a Truth Social statement read. "This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!"

Trump has been accused of seeking to deflect attention from the issue, which has seen many in his base issue rare criticism of him. Some Republican lawmakers have urged the Trump administration to release the files, but the party has so far blocked initiatives to do so.

On Wednesday, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer theorized that House Republicans declared an early summer recess not only to avoid voting on the Epstein files, but also to give President Donald Trump time to prepare documents to pardon Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
