Trump pushes back on Jeffrey Epstein question: "This creep?"
Read Original Source
President Trump criticized a reporter for asking about Jeffrey Epstein in a Tuesday Cabinet meeting, calling the questions a "desecration," one day after the Justice Department found the convicted sex offender died by suicide and did not have a "client list." The moment came after a reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi about the department's recent review of its Epstein investigation, which has drawn questions — and conspiracy theories — since the disgraced financier's 2019 death.
