(AURN News) — Despite public denials, President Donald Trump was told months ago that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to sources close to the White House.
CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche informed Trump in a routine May briefing that his name came up in the Justice Department’s review of the documents, alongside several other high-profile figures.
Officials say the references were unsubstantiated and not tied to any criminal activity, but the admission directly contradicts Trump’s recent claim that Bondi never mentioned it.
The White House says the president’s name appearing in the documents is not groundbreaking and was already known from past releases. But inside the White House, there’s been quiet fury, especially after Bondi reportedly failed to redact Trump’s name from binders distributed to allies earlier this year.
Some say that failure widened the firestorm now burning through MAGA circles, which are demanding transparency.
