WATCH: Trump Slams Handling Of Epstein’s Death - ‘He Knew A Lot On A Lot Of People’

On Wednesday afternoon, 45th President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump was interviewed by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on X, formerly known as Twitter, during Fox News’ GOP presidential debate.

The interview was viewed by over 75 million people within the first hour of being released.

Trump’s interview was pre-taped at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

“I read Barr’s account… he wrote a book about it. His autobiography. In it, he lies about Jeffrey Epstein’s death. Clearly lies. Do you think Epstein killed himself sincerely?” Tucker asked.

“I don’t know. I will say that you know he was a fixture in Palm Beach. I don’t know what Barr said about it. What did he say? That he killed himself?” Trump responded.

“He said that he killed himself and that they were going to do this investigation and they never did the investigation. It’s never been public. And they hid it. Why are they doing that?” Tucker asked.

“Clearly, Barr knew. But why would Bill Barr be covering up the death of Jeffrey Epstein,” Tucker added.

“Bill Barr didn’t do an investigation into the election fraud, either. Okay? He said he did and he pretended he did, but he didn’t.” Trump said.

“Do you think it’s possible that Epstein was killed,” Tucker asked later on.

“Oh, sure. It’s possible. I mean I don’t really believe… I mean he probably committed suicide. He had a life with, you know, beautiful homes and beautiful everything. And all of a sudden, he’s incarcerated and not doing very well,” Trump said.

“There are many people that think he was killed. I think that you’re one of them, right? But a lot of people think that he was killed. He knew a lot on a lot of people,” Trump added.

“Your attorney general clearly lied about the Epstein death,” Tucker said.

“Certainly, it wasn’t well done. They had no cameras, they had no anything, everybody was sleeping. You know, a case could be made. But I’m not going to get involved,” Trump said.

Trump has been described as the “only person” who helped the attorney representing the victims of Epstein.

“The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk.  I’ll give you as much time as you want,” Prosecuting attorney Bradley Edwards said.

“I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information.  That checked out and that helped us and we didn’t have to take a deposition of him in 2009,” Edwards added.

In 2004, Trump banned Epstein from his Palm Beach, Florida club, Mar-A-Lago, “for hitting on the teenage daughter of another member,” according to a report.
