President Donald Trump has added his voice to the growing calls for full transparency regarding documents tied to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking out amid rising pressure from within the Republican Party, Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to release any credible files that reference Epstein or individuals associated with him.
This renewed attention follows a memo from Bondi’s office, which stated that there is no evidence of a hidden “client list” and confirmed the longstanding conclusion that Epstein died by suicide. The memo, backed by the Department of Justice and the FBI, contradicts years of speculation and conspiracy theories that have surrounded the case.
Despite the official findings, prominent Republicans such as Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator John Kennedy, and Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are calling for the full release of all Epstein-related materials. Some have even suggested appointing a special counsel to further investigate the case.
President Trump, while acknowledging the sordid nature of the topic, emphasized that transparency is important. He also suggested that media and political actors are using the Epstein story to serve personal agendas, and expressed his desire to move past the controversy.
With public interest still high and political pressure intensifying, the decision now rests with Attorney General Bondi and federal agencies on whether to make more documents available. For now, the Epstein case remains a lightning rod of political and public scrutiny.
