While in Scotland, President Trump explained his split from Jeffrey Epstein, attributing it to Epstein's hiring of Trump Organization staff. He denied ever visiting Epstein's private island on Virgin Islands.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday and other news outlets confirmed what many had already suspected given Donald Trump’s apparent uneasiness about the unrelenting focus on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein since his Administration tried to close the case on the alleged sex trafficker and unsuccessfully urge people to move on earlier this month.

The president struggles to shift the conversation away from Epstein as his supporters demand the release of files about the case.
