12 December,2025 12:10 PM ISTDuring a press briefing, reporters questioned White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt about a document referencing a 2006 phone call allegedly involving Donald Trump during the Epstein investigation.

She instead repeated Trump’s long-standing defense, that he removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning of his behavior, avoiding any verification of the specific 2006 call referenced in the document.
