In a fresh attempt to deflect mounting allegations, former US President Donald Trump has vehemently denied any ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as claims that he was aware of the financier's heinous crimes. Trump made the statement on Thursday, dismissing the accusations as "completely false" and labeling them as "smears" aimed at tarnishing his reputation. However, the claims against Trump have been fueled by revelations from Epstein's inner circle, including a former associate who has alleged that Trump was a regular visitor to Epstein's properties and even socialized with the billionaire on multiple occasions. As the controversy continues to swirl, Trump's denials have only raised more questions about the extent of his involvement with Epstein and whether he truly had no knowledge of the sex crimes that have left a trail of victims in their wake.
