President Trump spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday following his Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation event and responded to another question about Epstein, saying he doesn’t understand why his supporters care so much.
“Don’t forget, we went through years of the Mueller Witch Hunt and all of the different things, the Steele dossier, which was all fake. All that information was fake,” he said.
“It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sorted, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.”

Reporter: I know you’ve urged people to move on, but I’m curious, why do you think your supporters, in particular, have been so interested in the Epstein story and so upset about how it’s been handled?
Trump: I don’t know why they would be so interested. He’s dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don’t understand what the interest or what the fascination is, I really don’t. And the credible information has been given. Don’t forget, we went through years of the Mueller Witch Hunt and all of the different things, the Steele dossier, which was all fake. All that information was fake.
But I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sorted, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going. But credible information, let them give it. Anything that’s credible, I would say, let them have it.
