Trump casually dismisses Epstein survivors as 'victims or whatever'

I think we've had a lot of, a couple of hearings. I'm ok with it. But I understand that the women didn't want to go under oath. That's what I heard. That the women, the victims, or whatever, refuse to go under oath. Which is a little surprising, the president said.Trump's relationship with Epstein has been a source of fierce scrutiny, though he has vehemently and repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. In 2002, Trump called Epstein a terrific guy who likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. The two were photographed together at parties throughout the 1990s. After Epstein's 2019 arrest, Trump said he was not a fan and claimed they had a falling out years earlier. Trump later sued the Wall Street Journal for 10 billion over its reporting on a bawdy letter he allegedly sent Epstein. A federal judge dismissed the case but gave Trump two weeks to refile. First lady Melania Trump recently issued a statement denying any connection to Epstein after reports circulated linking her to him.Reporter: Do you believe there should be a public hearing for more of these Epstein survivors?Trump: I'm okay with that.
