ThePoint丨Trump shifted positions on releasing Epstein list

During the 2024 US presidential election campaign, then-candidate Donald Trump repeatedly pledged at campaign events to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, adopting this stance as one of his strategies to gain support. However, after taking office, Trump failed to fulfill his campaign promise to release the Epstein list.

On June 5 this year (2025), Elon Musk posted claiming that the Epstein files remain undisclosed because Trump's name appears in them. Contradicting his election-season support for releasing Epstein documents, Trump has since made multiple posts urging people "not to waste time on Epstein," alleging that the Epstein list is a hoax made up by the Democratics.

在是否公开“爱泼斯坦名单”问题上,特朗普立场飘忽不定。

2024年美国大选期间,作为总统候选人的特朗普多次在选举活动中做出会公开爱泼斯坦相关档案的表态,这一立场成为其争取支持的策略之一。然而在特朗普上台之后,他并未履行竞选承诺公开“爱泼斯坦名单”。

今年6月5日,马斯克发文声称有关爱泼斯坦案的文件尚未公开是因为特朗普的名字就在其中。特朗普一反大选时支持公开爱泼斯坦文件的态度,多次发帖呼吁“不要在爱泼斯坦身上浪费时间和精力”,并声称“爱泼斯坦名单”是民主党编造的谎言。
