US President Donald Trump dismissed allegations during a press conference, using strong language to refute media reports about Vice President JD Vance organising a dinner with senior officials regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation .
"Look, the whole thing is a hoax," Trump said. "It's put out by the Democrats because we've had the most successful six months in the history of our country and that's just a way of trying to divert attention to something that's total bullsh*t. OK?"
The remarks came on Wednesday during a media session following Trump's announcement about Apple's $600 billion US investment. Vance addressed the matter briefly, rejecting the journalist's report about the Epstein dinner as inaccurate.
"It's completely fake news ," Vance said. "We're not meeting to talk about the Epstein situation and I think the reporter who reported it needs to get better sources."
Earlier that day, CNN had reported that Vance, along with Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, were scheduled to meet at the vice president's residence.
William Martin, Vance's communications director, issued a statement to The National News Desk saying, "The CNN story is pure fiction. There was never a supposed meeting scheduled at the Vice President's residence to discuss Epstein Strategy."
CNN, citing three sources, reported that the officials intended to develop a coordinated response regarding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. According to two sources, the White House considered all attendees except Vance as key figures in managing files related to Epstein's alleged child sex trafficking case.

NEW: President Trump once again claims the Epstein case is a "Democrat hoax" that's "total bullsh*t," says it's only being talked about because the country is doing so well.
