After Alan Ritchson shared his candid thoughts on the Epstein files, the Trump administration has issued a response.
On Friday, the White House shared a statement regurgitating that Trump has been “totally exonerated” in the Jeffrey Epstein case, following Ritchson’s comments seemingly urging the president to “go to jail” over his ties to the accused sex trafficker.
“Just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein,” said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.
“And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him.”
While Trump has repeatedly claimed he is exonerated from the Epstein case, no court has officially ruled as such.
Meanwhile, the POTUS is mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, and in March, the DOJ released previously withheld documents containing unproven accusations of sexual assault against Trump, following pressure from Dems.
After Dax Shephard previously told him he “should let some of that stuff go,” Ritchson recalled on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, “I’m like, ‘Let go?’
I was like, ‘Everybody else should have it.
Everybody else should feel like I feel … all mad about the way things are and the abuses that are happening.
The Epstein files?
The f*cking Epstein files!
God damn it!
Where are they?
It's a f*cking law, bitch!
Show it, you f*cking pedophiles!’”
Ritchson added, “This is my f*cking politics, dude.
I would f*cking railroad these f*ckers I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds.
Yeah, dude, two seconds.
F*cking move out of the way.
Get out of there.
I don't care what room they're in, f*cking move.
Like, give me the f*cking manila envelope.
I will get you the Epstein files.
“Don't you want to see what's in there, so that we can hold people accountable?
These f*cking rapists!
We're just cool with it?”
he continued, without directly naming Trump.
“That b*tch has the keys to the nuclear—he's all up into 13-year-olds.
Dude, what?
Go to jail.
Go to jail.”
Following a judge’s dismissal of Trump’s $10B lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting of a birthday letter he allegedly wrote to Epstein, the twice-impeached president filed an amended suit in May.
Trump has denied he wrote the letter and maintained his innocence in the Epstein case.
