Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt [quoting President Trump's physician]: In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs…the president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous dopplar ultrasounds were performed, and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of seventy.

Reporter: Can you clarify which part of the Epstein hoax is the hoax part?

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: The president is referring to the fact that democrats have now seized on this, as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffery Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any democrat to make. The democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn't do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffery Epstein and his heinous crimes. It was this president who directed to Department of of Justice, and the attorney general, to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffery Epstein, which they did…in terms of redactions of grand jury seals, those are questions for the Department of Justice. Those are also questions for the judges who have that information under a seal, and that would have to be requested, and a judge would have to approve it. That's out of the president's control. He has said, in agreement with some of the leaders on Capitol Hill, that if the attorney general and the Department of Justice comes across any other credible evidence, they should provide it to the American people.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case, that's how he feels.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: I think it's quite telling that this individual [Mamdani], a known communist, has been spending time in Washington this week, meeting with leaders on Capitol Hill. This is truly where the democrat party is heading. Clearly, they learned nothing from November 5th, and the president's overwhelming victory.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: The White House Council's Office has launched their own investigation into former President Biden's usage of the autopen. We have requested some documents from the National Archives, and again, as I've said many times from this podium, and the president has said as well, it's incredibly important that we get to the bottom of who really was at the tip of the spear in the decision making process here in the White House, because former President Biden himself admitted to the New York Times, that he did not actually review every single pardon that he signed on his way out the door. That's incredibly concerning, and I can tell you it's something this president would never tolerate.
