Donald Trump on Friday morning raged about a "smoking gun" in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Trump has been battling scandal related to the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile who died in custody during Trump's first term. Earlier in the morning, an ex-prosecutor highlighted a potential contradiction in the handling of the controversial case.
Ahead of the weekend, Trump took to Truth Social, asking, "If there was a 'smoking gun' on Epstein, why didn’t the Dems, who controlled the 'files' for four years, and had Garland and Comey in charge, use it?"
He added, "BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!"
