Actor Alan Ritchson has intensified criticism of President Donald Trump, using a recent podcast appearance to push for the full release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.
During an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Ritchson expressed frustration over what he called a lack of urgency from political leaders in making the Epstein files public. He argued that transparency should supersede political considerations and that those in power need to be held accountable.
“The documents should be released so people connected to any alleged wrongdoing can face accountability,” Ritchson said, singling out Trump while referencing past associations with the convicted sex offender.
Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein. The White House has dismissed recent allegations against the president as “completely baseless,” stating there is no credible evidence to support the claims. Trump has not been criminally charged in connection with the allegations.
This marks another instance of Ritchson going public with criticism of the president. The actor has previously voiced opposition to Trump’s leadership and has argued that political and religious leaders should meet higher ethical standards. He has also been vocal about police reform, government accountability, and abuse of power, citing his Christian faith as motivation for speaking out.
Clips from the interview quickly spread across social media, generating mixed reactions. Supporters commended Ritchson for discussing political accountability directly, while critics characterized his comments as inflammatory.
The renewed conversation has revived public interest in the Epstein files and their political ramifications—a topic likely to remain contentious in both political and entertainment spheres for some time.
