President Trump was questioned about appointing a special counsel for the Jeffrey Epstein investigation but refused to answer, stating, "I have nothing to do with it" as he walked away. This response contradicts reports from conservative journalist John Solomon, who claimed that Trump had suggested the idea of a special counsel to address ongoing concerns from his supporters. Publicly, Trump has expressed a desire to distance himself from the Epstein matter, criticizing his supporters for their continued focus on it and stating he does not want their support anymore.
As he was departing the East Room of the White House, Trump was asked about appointing a special counsel for the Epstein investigation. His reply was curt: "I have nothing to do with it," before walking away.
Despite the inquiry, Trump's non-answer contradicts conservative journalist John Solomon's reporting that Trump had previously expressed openness to appointing a special counsel.
Solomon stated on a podcast that Trump volunteered the special counsel idea amid outrage from his supporters, emphasizing his desire for truth and prosecutions in the Epstein case.
Trump has publicly dismissed interest in Epstein, stating his past supporters are buying into "bullshit" and expressing a desire to move on and not seek that support anymore.
