President Donald Trump drew criticism for his response to Fox News' Peter Doocy on Thursday in Air Force One, according to observers. When asked whether other Jeffrey Epstein associates should be arrested following Prince Andrew's arrest, rather than address the question directly, Trump claimed to be an "expert" because he had been "totally exonerated" and stated he "did nothing." He asserted that Epstein "was against me" and "was fighting me in the election," citing the recently released 3 million pages of Epstein documents. Trump's comments deflected focus from the original question about accountability for Epstein's associates. Social media observers criticized his response as self-incriminating. Professor Adam Cochran posted that there has "literally never been a guiltier-sounding person." The Atlantic's Tom Nichols sarcastically noted it was "a normal answer you'd expect from someone who isn't at all concerned."
