The Truth Social post shown is real and accurately reflects recent statements from Donald Trump, who claimed that if Democrats had found incriminating evidence against him in the Epstein files, they would have already used it, saying, "BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!".
However, the claim that Democrats fully controlled the "files" for four years and had Garland and Comey "in charge" isn't accurate. Merrick Garland became Attorney General in 2021 under President Biden, but James Comey was FBI Director only until 2017 and was fired by Trump himself. Additionally, there have been repeated efforts by House Democrats as recently as July 2025 to force the release of all Epstein-related documents, which House Republicans voted down along party lines.
There is no public evidence that all Epstein files have been made fully available to Congress or the public, and bipartisan calls for more transparency around the case continue.
