The discovery, first reported by the New York Post, details that Epstein gave Schumer seven separate $1,000 donations between 1992 and 1997. These contributions flowed to Schumer both while he served in the U.S. House and while he was preparing his 1998 Senate run. In other words, while Schumer has spent years posturing as a moral crusader, he was quietly taking money from the most notorious predator in modern American history.

It gets worse. Epstein also funneled an additional $5,000 into Win New York, a joint fundraising committee tied to Schumer. According to the Post, this money went primarily toward benefiting the DSCC and New York’s Liberal Party. So while Democrats endlessly shout about “connections” to Trump, the paper trail shows Epstein financially boosting Chuck Schumer’s political machine.

Meanwhile, Schumer has repeatedly demanded resignations, investigations, and political punishment for anyone remotely connected to Epstein—except himself. He even declared that then–Labor Secretary Alex Acosta “should resign” for his role in Epstein’s earlier sentencing. Yet Schumer never volunteered to return Epstein’s donations, never explained why he accepted them, and certainly never held himself to the standards he imposes on others.

President Trump, in contrast, has been transparent—and blunt. When asked recently about Epstein, Trump made it clear he never visited Epstein’s island, despite being invited. The president explained that he turned the invitation down immediately, noting, “In one of my very good moments, I turned it down.” That statement directly contradicts years of media insinuations designed to link Trump to Epstein’s crimes without a shred of evidence.

Trump also pointed out the glaring bias in media coverage: they ignore high-profile Epstein associates—like Larry Summers and various elite academics and politicians—while obsessing over Trump, who cut ties with Epstein long before Epstein’s crimes became public. The survivors interviewed by NBC themselves said they had never seen Trump involved in anything inappropriate. The narrative Democrats tried to push has collapsed.

This context makes Schumer’s hypocrisy even more staggering. He has spent years trying to weaponize Epstein as a political cudgel against Trump while hiding his own donations—and pretending he had no connection at all. If a Republican had taken repeated contributions from Epstein, Democrats would be demanding hearings, resignations, and criminal referrals.

Instead, Schumer benefited from Epstein’s money, remained silent, and hoped no one would dig up the records. And for decades, no one did—until now. The resurfaced report shows that the effort to smear Trump was always political theater designed to distract from Democrats’ own entanglements within the swamp.

This revelation also underscores a wider pattern: whenever accusations are thrown at President Trump, they tend to boomerang right back at the very Democrats making them. From Russian collusion hoaxes to bogus impeachments to now Epstein—the loudest accusers often have the most to hide.

With Trump back in the White House, these inconvenient truths are resurfacing fast. And as more Epstein files are pushed toward release, it is becoming increasingly clear why Democrats have fought so hard to keep them sealed.

The American people deserve transparency—not selective outrage. If anyone has explaining to do about Epstein, it isn’t President Trump. It’s Chuck Schumer.
