President Donald Trump suggested that a press conference being held by survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was a "Democrat hoax."

As the survivors were speaking outside the Capitol on Wednesday, a reporter asked Trump if his Justice Department was "protecting any friends or donors."

"So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends," the president complained. "You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more, and nobody's ever satisfied."

"But it's really a Democrat hoax because they're trying to get people to talk about something that's totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been president," he continued. "So what they're trying to do with the Epstein hoax is, get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success, like ending seven wars."

"I ended seven wars. Nobody's going to talk about because they're going to talk about the Epstein, whatever."

Trump argued that his government had "given thousands of pages of files" about Epstein to Congress.

"And I think it's, I think, really, I think it's enough because I think we should talk about the greatness of our country and the success that we're having," he insisted. "And that's what I want to talk about. That's what we should be talking about. Not the Epstein hoax."
