Summary
Abigail Jackson said the White House was responding to Alan Ritchson’s Epstein-files comments by insisting Trump was “totally exonerated” in matters related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Jackson said Trump had released thousands of pages of documents, cooperated with a House Oversight subpoena, signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act and pushed further investigations into Epstein’s Democratic associates.
Ritchson, promoting Motor City on podcasts, demanded the files be made public and said powerful sex traffickers were being protected, at one point alluding to the president with a reference to “13-year-olds.”
The actor has repeatedly spoken about systemic sexual abuse before, including describing himself as a survivor and calling the modeling industry “legalized sex trafficking.”
