Trump and Epstein had a relationship, but there's no evidence of Trump wrongdoing The Trump White House and Justice Department are under fire for failing to release, as promised, all of the files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was alleged to have raped teenage girls. In 2019, after he was charged in federal court with sex trafficking of minors, guards found Epstein dead in his cell at a federal jail in New York. Investigators said he hanged himself. Trump supporters have long suggested the existence of a client list that would implicate powerful people, while also calling into question whether Epstein's death had been a suicide. Trump has tried to damp down speculation, fanned mainly by Democrats, that the withheld files contain evidence of a deep connection between Trump and Epstein. Trump has reacted with outrage and disdain, even at members of his political base who have pressed for the files to be released. A year ago, we dug deep into the public record and awarded Four Pinocchios to a Democratic lawmaker who suggested Trump's name was all over the files released by Delgado. Nothing has emerged since then to change our assessment that there is no public evidence of inappropriate behavior by Trump related to Epstein.
