White House Denies Epstein Report Claims Amid Election Fears

2 min read

White House communications director Steven Cheung has dismissed a recent House Judiciary Committee report on President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein as a political fabrication, labeling it as part of a recurring pre-election strategy by Democrats and the media.

Speaking on X, Cheung criticized the report, which was released by Democrats on the committee, as a coordinated effort to distract from Republican momentum ahead of the midterms. He claimed the report was filled with ‘complete bullshit’ and accused the media and Democrats of perpetuating ‘lies and ridiculous accusations’ against the President for political gain.

The report, which includes allegations from multiple women, centers on Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland who claims Trump assaulted her at a Plaza Hotel suite in Manhattan in 1993. According to TIME, the report also includes claims from four other women who have accused Trump of rape or sexual assault, all of which were previously made public through media interviews or FBI testimony.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the committee, used the report to push for an independent special counsel to investigate Epstein’s co-conspirators and potential DOJ cover-ups. Raskin emphasized the need for justice and transparency, urging the Department of Justice to act.

The White House has denied the allegations, with spokeswoman Lauren Bis calling the report a ‘desperate attempt’ by Democrats to divert attention from their political challenges. The report was released just over a week before Election Day, as Democrats continue to signal their intention to use subpoena power if they gain control of Congress.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee previously released Epstein emails referencing Trump, which the White House called a ‘fake narrative’ built on selectively leaked documents. The report has sparked renewed debate over the role of the media and political actors in shaping public perception during election cycles.
