Former US President Donald Trump found himself in the hot seat during a recent Fox News interview, where hosts pressed him on his past connections to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The tense exchange comes as Trump campaigns for a return to the White House, with Democrats seizing on the interview to question his judgment and character.
Interview Sparks Political Firestorm
During the wide-ranging discussion, Fox News anchors didn't shy away from asking Trump about his well-documented social ties to Epstein in the early 2000s. The former president maintained he had minimal contact with Epstein and claimed to have banned him from his Mar-a-Lago club after a falling out.
"I was not a fan of his," Trump stated, "I had a dispute with him and I didn't want to be involved with him."
Democrats Pounce on Controversy
Opposition figures were quick to highlight what they called inconsistencies in Trump's account, pointing to previous statements and photographic evidence showing the two men together at various social events. Political analysts suggest this could become a liability for Trump's campaign as he seeks to win over undecided voters.
The interview has reignited debate about Epstein's powerful connections and how they might influence the upcoming election. With both parties preparing for a brutal campaign season, this development adds another layer of complexity to an already contentious political landscape.
