Earlier this week, United States ruler Donald Trump claimed only “stupid people” would believe that late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged “client list” was in existence. Trump called it a democrat hoax, but the damage has been done.
Epstein was arrested in 2019 and charged with trafficking minors for sex. He allegedly hanged himself in his New York jail cell before he could stand trial. His longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted of conspiring to sexually abuse underage girls and is now serving a 20-year sentence. Although Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, it has long fueled public skepticism. –RT
Because of the pressure and backlash, Trump has promised to release more information on the Epstein case. After criticism of his administration’s handling of the sex trafficking case involving the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reached a tipping point, he said he’d release the “transcripts” instead.
Whether or not these see the light of day in full, and not redacted, remains to be seen.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony, subject to court approval,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday, according to a report by RT.
The Department of Justice’s controversial review concluded that no “client list” of Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring ever existed and found no evidence of blackmail. There were no grounds to investigate uncharged third parties, the memo stated.

These findings appeared to contradict Bondi’s earlier comments that the client list was “sitting on [her] desk,” and that the FBI had turned over a “truckload” of materials that would “make you sick.” Bondi appeared to walk back those remarks, clarifying on Tuesday that she was referring to case files on her desk in general. She also dismissed concerns about a one-minute gap in the 11-hour surveillance video recorded near Epstein’s jail cell.

The Wall Street Journal has also accused the U.S. ruler of sending a lewd birthday greeting to Epstein in 2003. The president has threatened to sue Rupert Murdoch and his “third-rate newspaper” for defamation after the information surfaced.
As criticism and cover-up talk expanded, Trump attempted to cover his own backside by ordering the release of these additional documents.
But let us know what you think about the whole situation. It certainly doesn’t look for Trump and his administration.
