Vice President JD Vance pushed back against criticism of the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, accusing Democrats of political opportunism and failing to act when they held power in an interview released on Sunday.

Vice President JD Vance has found the Trump administration’s new scapegoat to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein story: Democrats. Vance claimed to Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures that Democrats had not investigated the Epstein case during Joe Biden’s presidency and painted Epstein as more closely aligned with Democrats.

Vice President JD Vance alleged "Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders" for having ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein amid MAGA outrage over President Donald Trump's administration not releasing the Epstein files.
