Gov. Gavin Newsom came full swing at Donald Trump Saturday, claiming the president is lying to cover up his involvement in convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein’s case.

“He’s lying to cover up his prior lies and then lying again. Now he doesn’t even know truth from fiction, and so look, he’s caught it red handed,” Newsom told popular left-wing influencer Brian Tyler Cohen in an interview that aired Saturday. “He’s in the files. We know it, period, full stop.”

Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have received major backlash in the past few weeks over their handling of Epstein’s files after hyping them up, then failing to release more information. Many of those outraged are the president’s own supporters, who are beginning to turn on him over the issue.

Meanwhile, news outlets have been resurfacing old videos, photos and documents that suggest a close friendship between the president and Epstein.
