White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced tough questions after reports emerged that Trump officials were pressuring Rep. Lauren Boebert to reverse her vote on releasing the Epstein files. In a heated exchange, Leavitt dismissed the newly released Epstein-related emails as a “manufactured hoax” by Democrats, insisting that the documents show “President Trump did nothing wrong.” She accused Democrats of launching a “distraction campaign” to divert attention from the ongoing government shutdown. Joined by FBI Director Kash Patel, Leavitt reiterated that the administration supports transparency and condemned what she called politically motivated leaks designed to damage the president.
