US EditionWhite House: Trump ‘would not recommend’ special prosecutor for Epstein files
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – White House rejects appointing a special prosecutor to avoid further scrutiny amid controversy over Epstein files, despite more than 1,000 victims identified, officials said.
- On July 17, 2025, the White House confirmed President Trump would not recommend appointing a special prosecutor for the Jeffrey Epstein files investigation.
- This decision followed DOJ and FBI memos stating Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and had no client list, despite pressure from Republicans to release more files.
- House Republicans, including Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Lauren Boebert, pushed a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing all Epstein documents amid internal GOP tensions.
- Trump criticized some of his supporters as 'weaklings' for seeking further investigation and described the controversy as a 'hoax,' while the DOJ refused to release more records.
- The refusal to recommend a special prosecutor and withhold additional information has deepened divisions within the GOP and kept Epstein-related issues politically contentious.
