Alan Ritchson’s Epstein‑files rant sparks White House defense of Trump

Actor Alan Ritchson, known for Amazon’s Reacher, appeared on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast and demanded the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, calling the documents a "law" and accusing President Donald Trump of being a "f‑‑‑ing rapist" and saying he “has the keys to the nuclear codes” and is “all up into 13‑year‑olds.”

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded, stating that President Trump has been “totally exonerated on anything related to Epstein” and highlighting the administration’s release of thousands of pages, cooperation with the House Oversight Committee and the signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The White House also shifted criticism toward Democratic officials, asserting that Trump has done “more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”
