Leavitt Struggles to Explain Trump’s Baffling Epstein Phone Call

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has struggled to explain whether Donald Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation after newly unearthed files revealed discrepancies in his story.

The president has long maintained that he knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes.

However, the latest tranche of files contained a document suggesting that he called Palm Beach’s police chief in July 2006—just as Epstein’s first criminal sex charge became public—to inform him that Epstein’s activities were well known.
