Alan Ritchson Slams Donald Trump Over Epstein Files in Fiery Interview
Reacher star Alan Ritchson has once again taken aim at Donald Trump, launching into a fiery criticism of the president while discussing the Jeffrey Epstein files in a new interview.
Alan Ritchson blasts Donald Trump over the Epstein files and renews his criticism of the president in a fiery podcast interview.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Ritchson joked about his reputation for being a “loose cannon” when it comes to his choice of words. The outspoken actor said he believes he is simply expressing views that others should also be willing to voice.

“I’m just saying the shit that everybody should say if they give a shit about humanity. Everybody else should feel like I feel,” Ritchson said.
The actor then turned his attention to the Epstein files and what he described as the slow release of information connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous financier and convicted pedophile. Ritchson also referenced the president's alleged association with Epstein during his remarks.
“The Epstein files, the fucking Epstein files!” Ritchson said. “Goddamn it! Where are they? It’s a fucking law, bitch. Show it. You fucking pedophiles!”
Ritchson continued his criticism, saying he would make the release of the Epstein files a priority if he were in a position to do so.
“This is my fucking politics, dude. I would fucking railroad these fuckers. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Fucking move out of the way. I don’t care what room they’re in, bitch, move. Give me the fucking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files.”
The actor, who has previously been open about being a devout Christian and voting Republican, has also faced backlash from more MAGA-leaning Reacher viewers over his political opinions.
In 2024, Ritchson criticized the Christian community while expressing his views on Trump.
“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe. It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do,” Ritchson said in 2024. “Trump is a rapist and a con man. And yet the entire Christian church seems to be treat him like he’s their poster child, and it’s unreal. I don’t understand it.”
Two years later, Ritchson's position on the president remains unchanged. While discussing the Epstein files, he again questioned why people would not want to see their contents and hold those responsible accountable.
“Don’t you want to see what’s in there so that we can hold people accountable?” Ritchson said, alluding to Trump. “These fucking rapists. We’re just cool with it. That bitch has the keys to the nuclear codes … Like dude, what? Go to jail.”
Trump has repeatedly denied rape allegations against him.
