Washington: US President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that the renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein case is a political 'scam' designed by Democrats to undermine his presidency, calling it 'another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax' in a statement posted on his Truth Social platform.

According to Anadolu Agency, Trump stated that "The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America," referring to what he called the "BEST six months in Presidential history." He labeled the controversy surrounding Epstein as a 'Democrat CON JOB' and called for the release of all grand jury documents related to the Epstein case, emphasizing that "everyone should see what is there, but people who are innocent should not be hurt."

He reiterated his criticism of previous investigations targeting him, comparing the Epstein matter to earlier probes into Russian interference and his administration. Trump's remarks came amid growing speculation about the unsealing of court documents related to Epstein's long-running criminal network, which reportedly include names of influential figures.

Despite previous social associations with Epstein, Trump has denied any involvement in the late financier's crimes. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His death, officially ruled a suicide, sparked widespread controversy, conspiracy theories, and scrutiny over his connections to powerful individuals across politics, business, and media.

The recent focus on the case follows ongoing efforts by victims' lawyers and journalists to access unreleased court records.
