US EditionLETTER: Flooding the Zone with Distractions From the Epstein Case
Donald Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to provide all Department of Justice Epstein files to the House Oversight Committee to ensure transparency amid ongoing scrutiny.
- President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to give everything the Department of Justice has on the Epstein files to the House Oversight Committee if requested in the Oval Office, Washington, DC.
- The Justice Department reportedly holds roughly 100,000 pages of Epstein-related documents, and after the Aug. 5 subpoena, House Oversight leaders expected DOJ to start production; Pam Bondi had released `Epstein Files: Phase 1` earlier this year, naming Trump.
- Trump framed the Epstein files release as a Democrat hoax, warning that "a lot of people... could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be," but said, "Innocent people shouldn’t be hurt but I’m in support of keeping it totally open, I couldn’t care less" on Aug. 22.
- The Justice Department is set to begin sending documents to the House Oversight Committee Friday, with Rep. James Comer praising the Trump Administration's transparency efforts.
- Public records show Trump appears seven times in flight logs from Oct. 11, 1993, and May 15, 1994; the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year Bondi told Trump he is in the Epstein files, while a July 7 Justice Department memo found no incriminating 'client list'.
