A frustrated Trump gives more details on his relationship with Epstein, as the scandal follows him abroad

(CNN) Dogged by questions on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal even from Scotland, President Donald Trump again sought to put distance between himself and the sex offender — offering one of his most thorough personal explanations to date on his former relationship with the disgraced financier.

While sitting next to a stone-faced British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump told reporters Monday that he never drew a woman in a reported raunchy birthday letter to Epstein, never visited his island, and that he cut ties with him after an “inappropriate” business dispute.

His extensive responses to reporters during the bilateral meeting starkly illustrated how Trump and White House officials have struggled to move on from Epstein, even during an international trip 3,000 miles from Washington.

Instead, he's digging his grave with his tongue. If he were smart he'd shut up about it, but if my aunt had wheels she'd be a pastry cart.

And he often does. But when that finally stops working, it’ll be a hard stop.
