President Trump on Tuesday said that it’s “really time” for the country to move on from Jeffrey Epstein following the release of nearly 3 million more documents by the Justice Department late last week.
“I think it’s really time for the country to get on to something else,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
He further added: “Nothing came out about me other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get on to something else like health care or something that people care about.”

None have been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, but their appearance in the files drew fresh scrutiny of their relationships with the convicted sex offender.
Trump also dismissed Musk’s and Lutnick’s names in the files, saying “I’m sure they’re fine.” He doubled down on assertions that the latest batch absolves him, claiming a “conspiracy” had been waged against him, as perpetuated by “Epstein and other people.”
“I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get onto something else like health care,” Trump repeated. “Something that people care about.”
