In response, the president said he knew nothing about the matter, according to Univision.

“They haven’t told me anything,” he replied.

Trump added that if any relevant information existed about the Epstein files, “they would have announced it a long time ago.”

Trump also stated, “I was in a very bad relationship for many years,” without clarifying what he meant.

His answer appeared intended to close the topic, but journalists continued pressing with more questions.

The Follow-Up Question That Triggered the Exchange

Tension escalated when a journalist insisted on asking again.

The attempt happened while another reporter was speaking at nearly the same time, creating overlapping questions.

According to descriptions of the moment, one journalist began asking whether there was anything “incriminating” in the Epstein-related report.

At that moment, Trump turned toward one of them and, according to what was observed, appeared to say: “Shut up. Shut up, Piggy.”

The phrase was reportedly delivered in an irritated tone, amid the noise and fast-paced back-and-forth typical of impromptu remarks aboard the presidential aircraft.

The «Shut up, Piggy» remark drew attention for its disparaging tone and because it was directed at a member of the press during a moment when the president was expected to address a sensitive topic.

An Episode That Leaves New Questions

The exchange did not answer any of the questions about the Epstein files.

Nor did it clarify whether the president had prior knowledge of the documents or the contents of the report mentioned by the journalists.

Instead, the moment shifted attention to the verbal confrontation and the tone Trump used in response to a follow-up question, further fueling discussion around the Trump Epstein files remark.
