Trump was told he is in Epstein files, Wall Street Journal reports

WASHINGTON, July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared in investigative files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The disclosure about Trump's appearance in the Justice Department's case records threatened to deepen a political crisis that has engulfed his administration for weeks. Some Trump supporters for years have fanned conspiracy theories about Epstein's clients and the circumstances of his 2019 death in prison.

The White House sent mixed signals following the story. It released an initial statement characterizing it as "fake news," but a White House official later told Reuters the administration was not denying that Trump's name appears in some files, noting that Trump was already included in a tranche of materials Bondi assembled in February for conservative influencers.
Trump, who was friendly with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, appears multiple times on flight logs for Epstein's private plane in the 1990s. Trump and several members of his family also appear in an Epstein contact book, alongside hundreds of others.

Much of that material had been publicly released in the criminal case against Epstein's former associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison after her conviction for child sex trafficking and other crimes.
During her trial, Epstein's longtime pilot testified that Trump flew on Epstein's private plane multiple times. Trump has denied being on the plane.
Reuters was not able to immediately verify the Journal's report.
Trump has faced intense backlash from his own supporters after his administration said it would not release the files, reversing a campaign promise.
The Justice Department said in a memo earlier this month that there was no basis to continue probing the Epstein case, sparking anger among some prominent Trump supporters who demanded more information about wealthy and powerful people who had interacted with Epstein.

MAGA PUSHBACK
Trump and his advisers have long engaged in conspiracy theories, including about Epstein, that have resonated with Trump's political base. The Make American Great Again movement's broad refusal to accept his administration's argument that those theories are now unfounded is unusual for a politician who is accustomed to enjoying relatively unchallenged loyalty from his supporters.
Epstein hung himself in prison, according to the New York City chief medical examiner. But his connections with wealthy and powerful individuals prompted speculation that his death was not a suicide. The Justice Department said in its memo this month that it had concluded Epstein died by his own hand.
In a sign of how the issue has bedeviled Trump and divided his fellow Republicans, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday abruptly said he would send lawmakers home for the summer a day early to avoid a floor fight over a vote on the Epstein files.
His decision temporarily stymied a push by Democrats and some Republicans for a vote on a bipartisan resolution that would require the Justice Department to release all Epstein-related documents.
But a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday approved a subpoena seeking all Justice Department files on Epstein. Three Republicans joined five Democrats to back the effort, in a sign that Trump's party was not ready to move on from the issue.
Trump, stung and frustrated by the continued focus on the Epstein story, has sought to divert attention to other topics, including unfounded accusations that former President Barack Obama undermined Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign. Obama's office denounced the allegations as "ridiculous."
More than two-thirds of Americans believe the Trump administration is hiding information about Epstein's clients, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last week.

I'd drug them, and then the Donald would have his way with them. Many 14 yr olds. And I filmed it all without the Don's knowledge

White House not denying that Trump's name appears in Epstein files, official says

July 23 (Reuters) - The White House is not denying that President Donald Trump's name appears in the files associated with financier Jeffrey Epstein, an administration official told Reuters on Wednesday.
The official said the fact of Trump's name appearing in the files had been acknowledged in briefing binders that were shared with influencers.

Trump owns the justice system from top to bottom. He has nothing to worry about. Obama and Biden have something to worry about.

>>1422007
Nixon had nothing to worry about and before he took that final trip on Marine One that day after that resignation speech on TV/radio after it all collapsed for him re. Watergate and more than the justice system was ready to destroy Tricky Dicky, his approval rating was 45%
No >>1422007, reality expects your opinions to die

>>1422007
>Obama and Biden have something to worry about.
For what? Even if Trump is right and they committed crimes, which he isn't, Trump made them immune to prosecution.

>>1422020
nope. The US Supreme Court ruled that a president can not be prosecuted in federal court for crimes committed while performing official duties as president. It is not retroactive.

Clinton, Obama, and Trump committed their crimes before becoming president.

You knew that.

>>1422022
You're very confidently wrong.
How much money are you paid to humiliate yourself online?

>>1422022
The Democrats can afford to throw Bill Clintomn under the bus. Can the Repubs afford to do the same with Trump? This is now the 21st century Watergate. Remember what happened to Gerald Ford after Nixon resigned.
MAGAts tearing each other apart: those wanting transparency - even at the cost of their president's political existence - vs. the hardcore cultists chanting their mantra 'Cut the shit'. Democrats laughing all the way to the schadenfreude & electoral bank.

I'm reminded of a certain 'smoking gun' tape of Nixon & Haldeman

>literal fake news

>>1422103
What part is fake?

>>1422007
I want to argue with you but you're right. The Supreme court just ruled that it's OK to just ignore lower court and supreme court precedent as long as it follows whatever the current Agenda is
https://www.techdirt.com/2025/07/24/supreme-court-to-lower-courts-ignore-actual-binding-precedent-follow-our-unexplained-shadow-docket-vibes-instead/
So now we're living with the fallout of having what is very obviously all three branches of government, and a stacked SuCo: We'll just ignore all precedent and law and do whatever you want Daddy Orange Man.

>Can the Repubs afford to do the same with Trump?
They don't have a choice, his popularity is falling like a rock and by midterms next year, being known as a trumptard will have the same connotation as being one during Covid.

>>1422000 (OP)
>Trump was told he is in Epstein files
Cool, with what context? Because without that it means nothing. Files could literally name every single person alive and the above kind of claim would be accurate yet still wildly misleading and intentionally vague as many highly charged stories end up.
"Trump doesn't want to visit the island" would fit such a claim, but that kind of snippet would immediately torpedo any attempted smear jobs being thrown around so until context is provided this story is pointless.

>>1422103
Then everything the Bidens were accused of is fake too. Can't have it both ways.
Accusations are Admissions. It's already biting you rightards in the ass. You don't even have the right to make denials: the way it's all exploded, it's too late for that now.
Democrats can afford to throw Bill Clinton under the bus. The only way the Republicans/their voters can possibly gain the moral high ground now is a complete purge of all degenerate elements, including their enablers, certainly within the electorate.
But then, there wouldn't be a Republican Party left. That's all they'll ever be now: the Gang Of Pedophiles.

>>1422104
The poster you replied to is a Trump dog. His mind refuses to grasp that Trump does what all the elites do and that is rape, torture, and kill children.

>>1422160
A hypothetical of everyone could be on it... the truth of the matter is that everyone isn't on ot just those that were clients of epstein on his fantasy island. Cope and seethe or is it seethe and cope?

>>1422160
>Trump was told he is in Epstein files
>Cool, with what context?
Probably the part where Trump banned Epstein from Marelargo for creeping on a golfer's daughter amd reported Epstein to the police.

>>1422393
so you think the man who brags about getting away with crimes is absolved from the one involving a longtime friend of his

>>1422394
they're just coping
It is weird though that Trumps first term had him take the guy who prosecuted Epstein the first time as his first AG, then again took the person who prosecuted Epstein the second time as his AG his second term

This hyperfocus on Trump relating to the Epstein files is gonna be used to hide the actual important people on the list, isn't it. You're never gonna know who's on it besides Trump and that's all the medias are gonna talk about. Successful coverup.

If they had anything on him it would have come out during the election. This is just the new Russia. I can’t wait to actually see how Trump is looked at ten years down the line. It’s going to be interesting

Everyone who supports pedophiles is guilty and should stew in hell.
Here are all the Epstein files that have either been leaked or published.

Trump's name is circled. The people circled are those involved in the trafficking ring, according to the person who originally published the book. These people would be "The List". Here's the story.
