WATCH: Leavitt says Boebert meeting over Epstein files shows Trump administration ‘transparency’

The White House on Monday called newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails a “manufactured hoax’ by Democrats.”

“These emails prove absolutely absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the documents released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

She said Trump knew Epstein from Palm Beach but that the president kicked the financier out of his Mar-a-Lago club “because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep.”

Leavitt was also asked about reports that the White House met with U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to discuss the Epstein files and she said it shows “transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress.”

Leavitt then seemed to indicate that White House officials met with Boebert in the White House situation room to discuss the Epstein files, saying, “I’m not going to detail conversations that took place in the Situation Room in the press briefing room.”
