Watch: Trump says Pam Bondi should publish 'credible' Epstein files

US President Donald Trump said that Attorney General Pam Bondi should “publish everything she believes”, to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, because he faces a rare counter reaction of supporters after trying to pull a line under the case.

Bondi was insulted by some of Trump's political basis after saying last week that there was no evidence that Epstein keeps a “customer list” or blackmailed.

At the weekend, Trump asked the supporters not to “waste time and energy” the controversy. But allies of the President, including the representatives of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, demand “transparency”.

Epstein's death in 2019 in a US prison while waiting for the federal procedure was classified as suicide.

But many in Trump's Make America Great Uther (Maga) movement have theorized that details of the crimes of the well -networked convicted pedophile were retained to protect influential figures or secret services.

On Tuesday, Trump praised the handling of the Attorney General with the matter and said: “She treated it very well and it will succeed. Whatever she believes is credible, she should release.”

When he asked a journalist whether the Attorney General Trump had told whether his name appeared in one of the documents, he said: “No, no.”

Later on Tuesday, the president again called for the publication of “credible” information, but he questioned the permanent fascination in the Epstein case and called it “dirty but boring”.

“Only really bad people, including the fake news, want to keep something like that,” said Trump.

Last week he lust frustration in the Oval Office about the fixation on Epstein and asked everyone to continue.

But some Republican allies of the President do not let go of the matter.

In an interview on Tuesday with the conservative commentator of us, Benny Johnson, spokesman Johnson said, he trusted President Trump and his team, and the white house was familiar with facts that he did not know.

But he said Bondi “has to get in touch and explain it to everyone”.

“We should do everything out there and let people decide,” said Johnson in an interview.

The Georgia Congress of Marjorie Taylor Greene told Benny Johnson on Tuesday in a separate interview: “I fully support the transparency on this topic.”

She praised Bondi's work as a attorney in general, but said that leader and elected officials should keep their promises to the voters.

Pam Bondi said the memo, which was published “for himself” by the Ministry of Justice last week.

Another conservative republican, Lauren Boebert from Colorado, said that if more Epstein files have been published, a special consultant should be appointed to examine the financier's crimes.

Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana said voters expect more accountability.

“I think it is completely understandable that American people would like to know who he [Epstein] People with these women and why they were not pursued under criminal law, “Kennedy told NBC News.

But other influential Republicans – including Senator John Thune and Congressman Jim Jordan – have shifted to President Trump on this matter.

“We should put everything on the table and let people decide,” says Johnson

At a unused press conference on Fentanyl on Tuesday, Bondi wiped questions about controversy aside.

“Nothing about Epstein,” she said reporters. “I won't talk about Epstein.”

She said that the memo of last week by the Ministry of Justice, which was published together with the FBI, refused to publish further files on Epstein and to confirm his death by suicide, “speaks for itself”.

Bondi announced Fox News in February that a list of Epstein customers was on her desk for checking before her spokesman said she said last week that she actually referred to overall files in the case.

According to Memo, the results of the government were examined for more than 300 gigabytes of data.

On Tuesday, democratic budget legislators unsuccessfully tried to force a vote on the publication of Epstein files.

The Republicans pointed out that the administration of President Joe Biden, the Democrat, also had access to the files, but did not publish them.
