MAGA celebrates Donald Trump being ‘exonerated’ in Epstein docs

Supporters of former President Donald Trump celebrated that the MAGA leader was hardly mentioned in the newly released court documents in a case involving late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The court documents that were unsealed on Wednesday night revealed the names of several prominent celebrities and politicians, including Trump, although he was scarcely mentioned and there was no reference made to any illicit behavior on his part.

The hundreds of pages of documents contain emails and transcripts of depositions regarding the now-settled case brought by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who alleged that Epstein sexually abused her as a minor. She also alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell, his girlfriend who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role, aided in the abuse.

Epstein, who was indicted in 2019 on federal charges of operating a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls, was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial.

Included in the 40 documents that were released is a deposition of Johanna Sjoberg, who accused Prince Andrew of touching her breast.

While being questioned on whom she gave “massages,” which she described as a code for sex, she was asked twice if she had ever massaged Trump. Sjoberg twice responded both times that she never did.

Newsweek reached out via email on Wednesday to Trump’s representatives for comment.

Wednesday’s release is only the first of what’s expected to be several rounds of disclosed documents and redacted names. However, inclusion doesn’t equate to accusations of any unlawful behavior.

People took to X, formerly Twitter, to weigh in on the hundreds of newly released documents, which contained dozens of high-profile names.

Supporters of Trump argue that the documents prove Trump didn’t engage in illicit behavior. While skeptics said the documents released on Wednesday don’t provide all the information from the Epstein and Maxwell cases.

Jack Poso shared an image of one of the documents on X, saying that the information released Wednesday night clears Trump of wrongdoing.

“EPSTEIN DOCS EXONERATE TRUMP YET AGAIN,” Poso said in the X post.

While sharing several pages of the documents, X user ALX echoed Poso’s sentiment, saying that the “only” times the MAGA leader is mentioned in the documents clear him of wrongdoing.

“The only mentions of Donald Trump in the 1,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents that contain related to a lawsuit brought against Ghislaine Maxwell that have been unsealed are ones that clear him of any wrongdoing,” ALX said in the post.

X user xbecuk posted a meme on the social media platform mocking “the left” for trying to connect Trump to an “elite pedophile ring.”

“Trump and Epstein,” xbecuk said in the post.

Bo Loudon posted on X that Trump has been “exonerated of visiting Epstein island.”

“In October, a judge ruled Alex Jones must pay $1.1 BILLION for ‘repeated lies,'” Loudon posted. “Now that Rightful President Trump has been EXONERATED of visiting Epstein island, is the media going to retract their bogus articles?”

Despite the wave of supporters claiming the documents proved Trump’s innocence, several social media users noted that it only provided deposition from “one girl.”

LibertyJamison posted on X that one person was “twisting the Truth” by claiming the documents clear Trump.

“Jack, they did not exonerate Trump,” LibertyJamison said in the X post. “They merely said that one girl did not have any encounters with Trump. You’re really twisting the truth here, and harming your credibility in the process.”

Another X user, aintscarylarry, shared a photo of Trump and Epstein, referring to the pair as “two P’s in a pod.”

“Trump and Epstein, Epstein and Trump,” aintscarylarry said in the post. “Two P’s in a pod. “P” as in pedophile.”
