US President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter after being asked about the resurfacing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, calling the journalist a “waste of time" and slamming the question as a distraction from “real issues."

At a White House press conference, Donald Trump bristled when asked about renewed scrutiny over the Jeffrey Epstein case following a public spat with tech mogul Elon Musk.

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy we’ve been talking about for years," Donald Trump said, visibly irritated, adding, “We have Texas and other issues, and people are still talking about this creep guy- that is unbelievable. You are a waste of time."

“I can’t believe you are asking a question about him at a time like this- when we’re having some of the greatest success and tragedy with what happened in Texas. It seems like a disaggregation," he added, referencing ongoing flood relief efforts in the state and his recent military initiative Operation Midnight Hammer.

NO F*CKING WAY:Trump just leapt in to stop a reporter from asking Pam Bondi about the “missing minute" in the Epstein jailhouse tape.

The panic was visible.You’d think they were being asked about national security secrets, not a dead sex trafficker with no clients, no tapes,… pic.twitter.com/if31khdOY2

Elon Musk Fallout Reignites Jeffrey Epstein Debate

Donald Trump’s remarks come amid fresh political friction over the Jeffrey Epstein case, fueled by a dramatic public fallout with Elon Musk, who last month accused the US President of being “in the Epstein files". Elon Musk later walked back his claims, deleting the post and admitting he had “gone too far."

In response, Donald Trump shared a statement from David Schoen, a former Epstein attorney, asserting that the US President had never been implicated in any criminal activity. A Department of Justice memo released this week reiterated that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide while in federal custody in 2019 and stated that no verified “black book" of clients or credible evidence of blackmail had been uncovered.
