Trump Reacts to Alan Ritchson’s Epstein Accusations

The White House is responding to actor Alan Ritchson’s claims that former President Donald Trump is hiding files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Ritchson, known for his role in Reacher, recently shared his thoughts in an interview regarding how the Trump administration managed the release of documents associated with Epstein.

Ritchson asserted that if the files existed, they would have likely been leaked almost instantly, implying that Trump was shielding the individuals named within them. He expressed his frustration quite dramatically, saying, “I don’t care what room they’re in. Bitch, move. Give me a manila envelope. Don’t you want to see what’s in there so you can hold people accountable? You damn rapists.” He continued with some striking remarks about someone having access to nuclear codes, making his stance clear.

In reaction to Ritchson’s statements, White House press secretary Abigail Jackson defended Trump, stating, “As President Trump has said, he is completely innocent of everything about Epstein. By releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s requests, signing the Epstein File Transparency Act, and demanding further investigations into Epstein’s associates in the Democratic Party, President Trump has contributed more to the cause of Epstein’s victims than anyone else.” She further called out Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Stacey Plaskett for not clarifying their connections to Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche mentioned back in December that all materials linking Trump to Epstein would eventually be made public. He reaffirmed Trump’s position that he has “nothing to hide,” but also noted that the presence of Trump’s name in these files doesn’t imply he was involved in Epstein’s criminal activities. Blanche emphasized that if Trump’s name or photographs appear in the files, they will be released—except for images of victims.

Interestingly, it has been suggested that Epstein didn’t hold Trump in high regard, and Vice President J.D. Vance noted earlier in June that Trump had reported Epstein to the authorities. In a fiery post on Truth Social back in July 2025, Trump denounced what he termed the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax,” accusing the “radical left Democrats” of orchestrating yet another smear campaign against him. He also criticized former supporters who seemed to embrace Epstein’s narrative, recalling numerous past “hoaxes” propagated by the left and the corporate media.
