US EditionTrump comes to Bondi’s defense amid uproar from his base over Jeffrey Epstein files flop
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – President Donald Trump defends Attorney-General Pam Bondi against criticism for DOJ's refusal to release additional Jeffrey Epstein investigation files amid sealed court protections.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi amid criticism over the Justice Department's refusal to release more documents about Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking investigation.
- The controversy arose after the Justice Department issued a Monday memo stating no further disclosure would be appropriate, denying the existence of a supposed Epstein client list Bondi had previously said was on her desk.
- Bondi clarified that she referred to the entire Epstein case file, including tens of thousands of videos involving Epstein and illegal child sexual abuse material, but faced wide criticism especially from right-wing figures expecting more revelations.
- The Justice Department's two-page memo noted over 10,000 downloaded illegal child abuse videos and a video proving Epstein's suicide in 2019, while officials said additional files could not be released to protect victims.
- Despite pressure and distrust from conservative supporters, Trump remained supportive of Bondi and dismissed renewed public interest in Epstein as inappropriate given other urgent national matters.
