The president has faced pressure from his supporters to release the files about Epstein, which they believe will reveal a cover-up.

Trump's remarks were his latest effort to distance himself from the political furor over his administration's handling of files related to Epstein's case

Trump is among other prominent figures named in the previously unsealed documents. He was mentioned in a 2016 deposition from Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s victims, who said the disgraced financier’s plane made an impromptu stop in Atlantic City in the 2000s. Sjoberg said “no” when asked if she’d given Trump a massage.
