House Republicans Grasp for Response to Demands for Transparency in Epstein Case

UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – The White House refuses to confirm if President Trump will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, amid bipartisan calls for transparency on Epstein-related files, with Justice Department denying evidence of blackmail.

  • During a recent briefing, Karoline Leavitt sidestepped questions about a potential pardon for Epstein's convicted girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, refusing to clarify Trump's stance.
  • On Wednesday, Donald Trump said Attorney General Pam Bondi would release `whatever’s credible`, after the Justice Department earlier this month withheld additional files.
  • Conspiracy theory researcher Mike Rothschild quipped `That's not a no!` after Karoline Leavitt said `That's out of the president's control`.
  • Late Thursday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was considering resigning over Epstein file handling, while House Republicans introduced a resolution urging their release.
  • Next week, the House resolution may be voted on but cannot force more disclosures, and Press Secretary Leavitt said Trump would not recommend a special counsel in the Epstein case.
