White House Rushes to Trump’s Defense After Alan Ritchson Torches President Over Epstein Files 

The White House came to Donald Trump‘s defense after Reacher star Alan Ritchson slammed the president over his handling of the Epstein files.

“Just as President Trump has said, he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to  Entertainment Weekly. “And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”

The response arrived a day after Ritchson’s interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast. The actor called the president a “bitch” and a “fucking rapist,” and criticized the government over the sluggish release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the president’s alleged association with the convicted pedophile. “The Epstein files, the fucking Epstein files!” Ritchson said. “Goddamn it! Where are they? It’s a fucking law, bitch. Show it. You fucking pedophiles!”

Launching into his tirade, Ritchson added, “This is my fucking politics, dude. I would fucking railroad these fuckers. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Fucking move out of the way. I don’t care what room they’re in, bitch, move. Give me the fucking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files. Don’t you want to see what’s in there, so that we can hold people accountable? These fucking rapists! We’re just cool with it?”

 While there has been significant legal and political fallout in the U.K. since the release of the files in 2025 and 2026, there have been no related arrests in the U.S. to date.
