On Christmas Day, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, sending a "Merry Christmas" message to "Sleazebags" he accused of having ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump asserted he distanced himself from Epstein long before it was popular, while criticizing Democrats and media outlets. The posts coincide with the release of documents related to Epstein investigations, a process initiated by a law passed by Congress over Trump's objections. Trump characterized the scrutiny as a "Radical Left Witch Hunt."
