Trump supports AG Bondi releasing credible Epstein files amid DOJ backlash over case closure and lack of new disclosures.
President Donald Trump weighed in on the contentious issue of Jeffrey Epstein's case files during a press interaction on Tuesday, expressing support for Attorney General Pam Bondi to release what he termed "credible" documents related to the late financier's sex trafficking scandal. Trump left the decision in Bondi’s hands, stating, "She's handled it very well, and it's going to be up to her, whatever she thinks is credible she should release."
The remarks come amid growing frustration among Trump’s base following the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI's recent closure of their review into Epstein’s case, with no new revelations or public disclosures. This decision has fueled anger and speculation, particularly as Bondi herself had hinted at possessing substantial information when she assumed office earlier this year.
Yet, a memo from the DOJ and FBI last week dashed hopes of uncovering a rumored list of sexual predators linked to Epstein, stating no such list exists and no new charges would be filed. This has only intensified the backlash, leaving Trump and DOJ officials scrambling to address the discontent. Trump, however, later downplayed the significance of the case, calling the remaining information "pretty boring stuff" despite its sordid nature, and questioning the public’s ongoing fascination with Epstein, who has been deceased for years.
Bondi, meanwhile, faced a barrage of questions during an unrelated event on the fentanyl crisis. Sticking to the official line, she reiterated that the DOJ memo speaks for itself and deflected further inquiries. The Attorney General also sidestepped questions about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, whose reported frustration with the memo’s rollout has sparked rumors of a potential resignation.
As this saga unfolds, the tension between transparency and closure continues to simmer, with public and political pressure mounting on Bondi to deliver answers—or at least something deemed credible—to a story that refuses to fade into obscurity.
Editor's Comments
Well, folks, it seems the Epstein files are the political equivalent of a magician’s empty hat—everyone’s expecting a rabbit, but all we get is a memo saying ‘nothing to see here.’ Trump’s call for ‘credible’ releases is like asking for a unicorn at this point. And poor Bondi, dodging questions like she’s in a dodgeball tournament. Maybe the real list is hiding with Bigfoot—now that’d be a credible scoop!
