Donald Trump Alleges Barrack Obama and Ex-FBI Chief James Comey Concocted Jeffrey Epstein Files, Slams Democrats for Wasting Time on a Nonexistent Issue While Declaring Himself the Greatest Leader in American History

Trump Claims Obama, Comey Fabricated Epstein Files, Calls Himself America’s Greatest Leader

July 15, 2025 – In a fiery statement issued on his Truth Social platform, former President Donald J. Trump has once again stirred controversy by alleging that former President Barack Obama and former FBI Director James Comey “made up” the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump dismissed Democratic efforts to pass legislation compelling him to disclose these alleged documents as a “waste of time” and a distraction from his self-proclaimed status as “the best thing to happen to America.” The remarks, which come amid ongoing political tensions, have reignited debates over transparency, accountability, and Trump’s polarizing leadership style.

The Epstein Files Controversy

The Jeffrey Epstein case has long been a lightning rod for speculation and conspiracy theories, with the late financier’s connections to high-profile figures across politics, business, and entertainment fueling public intrigue. The “Epstein files” refer to a collection of documents—some real, some rumored—that allegedly detail Epstein’s activities and relationships. Democrats in Congress have recently pushed for legislation to mandate the release of any Epstein-related materials in the possession of federal agencies or former officials, including Trump, who has been linked to Epstein socially in the past.

In his statement, Trump categorically denied the existence of any such files in his possession, calling the entire premise a “hoax” orchestrated by Obama and Comey. “The Epstein files? They don’t exist. Never did. Obama and his pal Comey cooked this up to smear me, just like they tried with Russia and everything else,” Trump wrote. “The Democrats are wasting their time chasing ghosts when they should be thanking me for being the greatest leader this country has ever seen.”

Accusations Against Obama and Comey

Trump’s accusations against Obama and Comey are not new, as he has frequently targeted the two for their roles in investigations during his presidency, including the FBI’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. By implicating them in the Epstein files controversy, Trump appears to be doubling down on his narrative of a “deep state” conspiracy aimed at undermining his political career. He offered no evidence to support his claim that Obama and Comey fabricated the files, instead framing the allegation as part of a broader pattern of political persecution.

“Comey was a disaster, a corrupt guy who let Crooked Hillary off the hook,” Trump added, referring to the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. “And Obama? He’s behind it all, pulling strings to distract from my incredible achievements.
