Trump Alleges Biden’s Role in Manipulating Epstein Files — Political Revenge or Conspiracy?
In a recent interview abroad, former President Donald Trump leveled a provocative claim that stretches the shadowy Epstein scandal into the realm of high-stakes political warfare. Trump suggested that
President Joe Biden and his top Justice Department officials might have deliberately inserted Trump’s name into Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous case files as part of a calculated effort to undermine him.
Speaking in Scotland, Trump accused Biden, former FBI Director James Comey, and Attorney General Merrick Garland of tampering with sensitive documents during their tenure, calling them “the worst scum on Earth.” He argued that with their control over the Justice Department, they had ample opportunity to fabricate or alter evidence.
“I was running against people who had control over these files,” Trump explained. “They could easily plant something false.” He further reasoned that if there had been any genuine damning evidence, the Biden administration—whom he refers to as his “enemy”—would have already made it public.
While Trump’s name does appear multiple times in Epstein’s records, official reports clarify that no credible links connect him to any criminal activity or misconduct.
The Bigger Picture
Trump’s allegations add a new and combustible layer to an already fraught saga, blending scandal with political suspicion. His claims reflect the deep polarization and mistrust that have come to define American politics, where even infamous legal files become battlegrounds for power struggles.
Whether Trump’s assertions are rooted in fact or serve as a strategic diversion remains uncertain, but they undoubtedly fuel ongoing debate. In a climate where conspiracy and controversy intertwine, the Epstein files continue to be a lightning rod—and Trump’s latest statements are sure to keep the storm raging.
