Democrats raising 'Epstein hoax' to deflect from shutdown: Trump
US President Donald Trump accused Democrats of bringing up "Jeffrey Epstein hoax" to "deflect from how badly they've done on shutdown." "Democrats cost our Country $1.5 trillion," he added. US' House Democrats recently released emails of Epstein, a convicted sex offender, in which he wrote that Trump "knew about the girls", though it's not clear what that phrase meant.
