Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, the president called for the country to move beyond the case files of notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a former friend of Trump.

“I think it’s really time for the country to get on to something else, now that nothing came out about me,” he said.

He also stuck up for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who will testify before Congress about their association with Epstein. Trump admitted that he “always liked” the former president and complimented his one-time opponent.

“I think it’s a shame, to be honest. I always liked him,” he said, “She’s a very capable woman. She was better in debating than some of the other people… She was smarter. She’s a smart woman.”

Trump: "They wanted me to go to jail for the rest of my life. Then it turned out I was innocent. Very innocent. I have a friend who said 'you have to be the most honest person anywhere in the world.'"
