White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced a barrage of questions on Tuesday over a crude birthday letter allegedly signed by Donald Trump and sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

Pressed by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on what exactly Trump meant when he called the Epstein case files a “hoax,” Leavitt tried to broaden the charge.

“I did not say the documents are a hoax,” she said. “I said the entire narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now that is absorbing many of the liberal cable channels on television is a hoax. The hoax is the Democrats pretending to care about victims of crime when they do not care about victims of crime.”

Leavitt said Democrats were attempting “to distract from the accomplishments and the achievements of this administration.”
