Vance: Trump Turned Epstein In to Police, Urges Voters to Focus on 2026 Midterms Vice President JD Vance discusses the Epstein files and urges voters to focus on policy issues ahead of the 2026 midterm elections on FNC's Hannity. Vice President JD Vance appeared on FNC's Hannity on Thursday to address lingering concerns about the late Jeffrey Epstein and the files related to his alleged indiscretions. Vance argued that Epstein and President Donald Trump did not have a cordial relationship. He urged voters to focus on the broader policy implications of the 2026 midterm elections. Host Sean Hannity noted that some callers to his radio show remain angry over the Epstein files. Hannity said Donald Trump threw Epstein out of his club 25 to 30 years ago and wanted nothing to do with him. Vance responded by pointing to the released Epstein files, which include millions of documents.Vance said Trump did not just throw Epstein out of his club. He also turned Epstein into the local police for being a creep. Vance added that Epstein likely hated Donald Trump more than anyone else in the world. He called it a great character reference when bad people dislike you.Vance continued by saying that while people can disagree on policy substance, the upcoming election is about fundamental issues. He asked whether voters want an open border or not. He asked whether they want people in power who are trying to trans kids. He also asked whether they want a government where their vote counts more than an illegal alien.He emphasized that this election is about preserving those things and urged voters to support congressional Republicans. The 2026 midterm elections will determine control of Congress and shape the legislative agenda for the remainder of Trump's term.Jeffrey Epstein was a financier who faced federal charges for sex trafficking before his death in 2019. His connections to powerful figures, including Donald Trump, have been the subject of widespread speculation and conspiracy theories. Trump has stated that he had a falling out with Epstein decades ago and banned him from his Mar-a-Lago club.The release of Epstein-related documents has been a contentious issue, with many calling for full transparency. Vance's comments aim to distance Trump from Epstein and redirect voter attention to policy debates. As the 2026 midterms approach, the Epstein matter may continue to be a talking point, but Vance and other Republicans are working to keep the focus on their agenda.
