Trump Defends US Attorney General Pam Bondi over Epstein Files

Epstein Files Were Suppressed, Says Source

A source within the Department of Justice (DOJ) has alleged that the FBI files on Epstein were suppressed and even removed from the Midwest wing of the DOJ before Attorney General Pam Bondi took office.

Trump Defends Bondi's Role

In response, President Trump has defended Attorney General Bondi, asserting that the Epstein allegations are "all a hoax, a scam, and a fraud."

Status of Files Unclear

The current status of the Epstein files is unclear, with the President referring to them as "all a hoax" and the original source within the DOJ alleging they were both removed and suppressed. Speculation has risen as to the potential implications of these files, as well as the reasons behind their possible removal.
