Trump asks why Democrats didn’t release Epstein files if there was ‘smoking gun’

On Friday, US President Donald Trump questioned, `If there was 'smoking gun', why didn't Dems use it?`, attributing the core question to him amid ongoing Epstein file debates.
Under influence of far-right influencers, Trump called the Epstein files a `Democratic hoax` and dismissed deeper probes as `stupid` and `foolish`.
The Justice Department and FBI issued a memo stating no further disclosures were appropriate or warranted, while Trump instructed Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony.
Pam Bondi confirmed she would pursue court action on Friday, while Karoline Leavitt said, `That's how he feels`.
A new poll finds 79% of Americans believe all documents relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case should be disclosed, underscoring strong public demand for transparency.
