The Democratic National Committee posted and then quickly removed a claim on X that President Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017, based on an unconfirmed email from the convicted sex offender released in a House Oversight Committee probe.
White House records and media reports confirm Trump was at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, with family, staff, and military personnel that day. The incident, occurring amid ongoing Epstein document disclosures, prompted backlash from Trump supporters, who accused the DNC of spreading false information.
Journalist Andy Ngo spotted the deletion and pointed out the absurdity of the claims. “The official
@TheDemocrats X account tweeted out a lie from Jeffrey Epstein that President Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with him,” Ngo wrote.
