White House communications director Steven Cheung dismissed a House Judiciary Committee Democrat report on President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein as a political fabrication days before the midterm elections.

Cheung called the report "the kind of attack the media and Democrats mount before every election," telling Breitbart that Americans see through what he characterized as pre-election garbage designed to damage Trump and Republican candidates.

Timing Raises Questions About Political Motivation

The report's release comes just days before voters head to the polls in the 2026 midterm elections, a pattern Democrats have employed in previous election cycles according to Trump administration officials. Bloomberg reported that Epstein files have haunted the GOP throughout the midterm campaign season as Democrats vowed fresh probes into the late financier's connections.

The Epstein documents have long been the center of speculation over the late financier's wealthy and powerful contacts and any connections they may have had to his conduct. However, neither Trump nor his administration has presented evidence that Democrats doctored or fabricated files related to Epstein, NBC News noted.

Democrats Press Attack Despite Previous Hesitation

Democrats put aside previous misgivings to aggressively target Trump over Jeffrey Epstein files in the final days of the campaign. The Washington Post's opinion section called it "an anti-Trump argument that works," suggesting Democrats finally discovered an effective messaging strategy.

Trump has repeatedly accused Democrats of fabricating documents about Epstein and characterized the focus on Epstein as a distraction from his administration's accomplishments. The claims of document fabrication remain unsubstantiated, according to multiple news reports.

Republicans counter that the timing of such revelations consistently coincides with major elections, undermining their credibility as genuine oversight. The House Judiciary Committee remains under Democratic control through the current session, giving the minority party subpoena power for investigations.

Cheung's forceful rejection signals that the White House views the Epstein report as part of a coordinated election strategy rather than legitimate congressional oversight. The administration maintains that voters will reject what it calls politically motivated attacks in favor of focusing on economic and security issues.
