Donald Trump has accused Democrats of raging over sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while backing a “thug” to run for a high-stakes Senate seat.

One day after Graham Platner was picked as the Democratic candidate in Maine, the president launched a wild tirade against the 41-year-old oyster farmer, who has faced scrutiny over everything from a Nazi-linked tattoo and explicit text messages to unsubstantiated claims from former partners about “unsettling” behavior.
