Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has once again reacted to the alleged controversial connection between US President Donald Trump and late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Navratilova’s reaction follows a claim by House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding Trump.
Johnson claimed that Trump once acted as an FBI informant in connection with the Epstein case. The current president is said to have worked undercover to expose Epstein’s sex trafficking network. According to Johnson, the revelation was later dismissed as a “Democrat hoax.”
“He’s [Trump] is not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax, it’s a terrible, unspeakable evil, he believes that himself,” Johnson told reporters. “When he first heard the rumour, he kicked him out of Mar-A-Lago. He was an FBI informant trying to take this down.

"The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It's detestable to him; he and I have spoken about this, as recently as 24 hours ago."
On Friday, a commentator, Marlene Robertson, who describes herself as a "secular humanist," mocked the narrative, saying:
"So Mikey claims Trump was working undercover for the FBI to bring down Jeffrey Epstein only to find out it was a Democrat hoax."
Navratilova reacted to this post on X (formerly Twitter). She replied with her own blunt response, agreeing with the commentator:
"lol. And true. #hoax"
This was not the first time Martina Navratilova commented on the situation involving Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She has previously made several remarks about the current president.
Martina Navratilova’s blunt critiques of Donald Trump on Epstein-related issues
Donald Trump is in his second term in the Oval Office, and his tenure this time around is marked by his bold decisions regarding several issues, ranging from tariffs on foreign countries to immigration. At the same time, his name continues to be linked with his alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
Martina Navratilova has been among the many who have taken shots at Trump, especially with regard to this controversial issue. Previously, Navratilova suggested that Trump's reluctance to release the Epstein files stems from fear.
“If Trump didn’t show in the Epstein files in a really bad way (r*pes, p*dophilia), he would have released them long ago, no matter who else goes down," Martina Navratilova wrote. "He only cares and will ever care about himself. But because it’s clear what he has done, we won’t see them if Trump can help it.”
Trump and Epstein's connection dates back to the late 1980s, as both of them ran in the same social circles. Several archived photos from the 1990s have been doing the rounds on the internet. The duo reportedly went their separate ways in 2004 after a property dispute.
