On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump insisted that he knew nothing about the Jeffrey Epstein emails released this week, at a time when his own ties to the convicted sex offender are again under scrutiny.
“I know nothing about that. Otherwise, it would have been said a long time ago,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One as he traveled to his residence in Florida.
The Epstein case was reignited recently by the publication of emails from the New York financier, which reportedly indicated that Donald Trump “knew about the girls” who were sexually abused.
