Vance says Trump administration ‘screwed up’ communications around Epstein files
Vance said poor messaging and a false client-list claim eroded trust, while rejecting accusations that officials were trying to hide evidence.
- Vice President Vance admitted on Wednesday during a podcast interview with Joe Rogan that the administration "absolutely" mishandled communications regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files, rejecting claims of intentional concealment.
- Vance specifically pointed to Former Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously claimed an Epstein "client list" was "sitting on my desk," noting she likely overstated administration holdings to meet the political moment.
- Kathryn Ruemmler, White House counsel under President Barack Obama, testified before the House Oversight Committee, facing skepticism after lawmakers rejected her claim that Epstein merely "used" her, citing emails calling him "Uncle Jeffrey."
- Oversight Chair James Comer called Ruemmler's efforts to "rehabilitate" Epstein's image "most concerning," while Rep Robert Garcia questioned her truthfulness as the 18th witness in the bipartisan inquiry.
- Vance asserted that Epstein "clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence" and Israeli intelligence, comments likely to intensify scrutiny over what information remains undisclosed about the late financier.
