Donald Trump stated that the Jeffrey Epstein files were fabricated by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and James Comey. When asked if Pam Bondi had informed him about his mention in the documents, Trump defended the attorney general on Tuesday (15 July). He commended her handling of the files and mentioned that the decision to release further records would be at her discretion.

Trump denied being informed by Bondi about his name appearing in any Epstein-related file, stating that she had provided only a brief overview. He attributed the creation of these files to Comey, Obama, and the Biden administration.

Criticism has been directed at the Trump administration for not disclosing more details about Epstein, the convicted sex offender, and his alleged list of clients.
