- She also attacked Trump’s character and intelligence.
Rosie O’Donnell said she planned to meet with survivors connected to Jeffrey Epstein and used the occasion to level a series of accusations against President Donald Trump while also raising questions about Elon Musk’s activities ahead of the November 3 election.
O’Donnell said the meeting would center on material contained in what she described as Epstein-related files being taken around the country in a bookmobile.
"Then later today, I'm going to meet up with the Epstein survivors because their bookmobile with all of the files in them, the Epstein files, which is available for anyone going around the country, unbelievable, unbelievable evidence that's in there, and the DOJ saying there's no evidence is just a blatant lie, blatant lie," O’Donnell said.
She then made a series of serious allegations about Trump, linking her criticism of the Department of Justice’s handling of Epstein-related material to claims she made about the president.

"And if our president wasn't a pedophile, and wasn't in there 1000s of times, and didn't pay upward of millions of dollars-almost, I think, a billion dollars-to Jeffrey Epstein, maybe he wouldn't be so worried about the Epstein files, don't you think?" O’Donnell said.
The claims were presented by O’Donnell as her own accusations. She did not provide supporting evidence for those assertions in the statement.
O’Donnell continued by asking why she believes Trump would be concerned about the files and tied her argument directly to the upcoming election.
"And why do you think he is? Remember that on November 3, when you vote, you know why we have people at Cornell raping women and thinking that it's fine, gang rape, seven hours. Well, we have a pedophile president, so you know, that's what I think."

Her criticism then shifted from the Epstein matter to Trump’s public reputation and character. O’Donnell said her views of Trump dated back many years and were shaped by having grown up in New York.
"For too long, he's been in the public zeitgeist, and if you grew up in New York, you knew he was a moron from day one-a liar, a grifter, a cheat, a con man. You just knew if you grew up here," she said.
O’Donnell also turned her attention to Musk, questioning why the billionaire had, in her view, returned to Trump’s political orbit shortly before Election Day.
"And I just hope November 3 that Elon Musk, who's suddenly back in the fold, I wonder why, coming up to election day, and he put up new satellites. I wonder why. I wonder why he's doing all that. Elon Musk. Hmm. Didn't he hate him just a little while ago? I think he did."
She did not identify specific evidence connecting Musk’s satellite activity to the election, but she raised the timing as something she viewed with suspicion.
O’Donnell also referenced DOGE while questioning Musk’s financial interests.
"How much did he make from the grift of DOGE? It's unbelievable that we don't seem to be able to stop him. The brilliant minds we have in this country."
She closed by mocking arguments about intelligence and asserting that she considers herself highly intelligent.
"And he is a low IQ person. Who ever heard of calling IQs? I'm a high IQ person. It's like ridiculous."
