Trump tries to blame others as tensions rise around handling of Epstein case

President Donald Trump is countering criticism of the Justice Department's failure to release much-hyped records around the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, trying to place blame on former government officials. On Tuesday, he accused former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as former FBI Director James Comey, of making up such documents. 'I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by the Biden ... ,' Trump told members of the press at the White House before departing for an event in Pennsylvania. The president on Wednesday posted on Truth Social blaming Democrats in general for a 'new SCAM' that 'we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.' Epstein was arrested in 2019 and found dead in his cell at a federal jail in New York City about a month later. Investigators concluded that he killed himself. Trump presented no evidence in claiming that Democrats and Comey tampered with documents related to Epstein's case. Comey was fired in 2017, two years before Epstein's arrest, and has not returned to the government since. Obama was long gone from the White House by the time of Epstein's death. During Biden's presidency, the Justice Department put on trial Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and secured a conviction against her, but there is zero indication that he or anyone from the White House had anything at any point to do with that case. Comey was a Republican for most of his adult life, but said in 2016 that he was that he was no longer registered with the party. Trump suggested last year that he was considering releasing information about the Epstein case if he won a second term. In February, the Justice Department released some government documents regarding the case, but there were no new revelations. Then, earlier this month, it acknowledged that a months-long review of additional evidence in the government's possession had not revealed a list of clients and said no more files related to the case — other than a video meant to prove that Epstein killed himself — would be made public. The announcement led to outcry from Trump supporters. Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared to intimate in a Fox News interview in February that a client list was 'sitting on my desk' to be reviewed for release. She said last week that she was referring to the Epstein case file generally, as opposed to an actual client list. Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino then had a contentious conversation at the White House as backlash grew to the Justice Department's decision to withhold records. Trump, members of his administration and conservative influencers have spread unsubstantiated claims surrounding Epstein for years. Conspiracy theories about Epstein's death are a popular trope in right-wing spheres, playing on Trump's repeated promises to reveal and dismantle the 'deep state' — a supposed secret network of powerful people manipulating government decisions behind the scenes.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune supports ‘full disclosure' of Epstein files

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) expressed support Wednesday for the 'full disclosure' of government files related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 'At some point, there is going to have to be a resolution,' Thune said of the outcry from President Trump's base over the administration's handling of documents pertaining to the Epstein case. 'We're all interested in making sure that justice is served and that there is full disclosure and there's transparency around this,' the top Republican senator told Fox News 'Special Report' host Bret Baier. The FBI and Justice Department announced the conclusion of a 'systematic review' of the Epstein case last week in a controversial, unsigned memo, which indicated that no further disclosures in the case were coming. 4 Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) appeared on Fox News' 'Special Report' host Bret Baier on Wednesday night.

US District Court for the Southe The review found 'no credible evidence' that Epstein, who died in his Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019, 'blackmailed prominent individuals' or that investigations against 'uncharged third parties' were warranted. The memo included a link to surveillance video from the Manhattan prison where Epstein died, suggesting that no one entered the convicted pedophile's cell the night he committed suicide. Earlier Tuesday, Trump accused his 'past supporters' of buying into the 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,' arguing that it's all a 'scam' involving documents cooked up by previous Democratic presidential administrations. The president described those demanding more information about the case as 'weaklings' and declared that he doesn't 'want their support anymore.' 'The president and Attorney General Pam Bondi will make the right decisions, but I'm always a believer in transparency,' Thune said Wednesday.

Mike Pence urges Trump to 'release all the files' on Jeffrey Epstein

Former Vice President Mike Pence urged the Trump administration to release all of the investigative findings related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a different stance his ex-boss took on July 16. During an interview with CBS News' Major Garrett, the former Indiana governor said the "time has come" for all the facts to become available to the American people, adding he's "always believed in transparency." Pence emphasized that the names of the victims should be excluded from any disclosure. "Whether or not the facts justify charges, I think anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held to public scrutiny," Pence told Garrett. Pence did not suggest the lack of transparency is politically motivated, but did hint that the investigation into the disgraced financier began during George W. Bush's administration and continued into Barack Obama's tenure at the White House. "I know of no reason why this administration — once the victims' names are protected — should not release all the files on Jeffrey Epstein," he said. The interview follows President Donald Trump's recent criticisms toward Republicans who raised questions about his administration's handling of the Epstein case. In a July 16 social media post, he described conservative backers as "stupid" and "weaklings" falling for Democrats' work. "Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. And my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls***,' hook, line, and sinker," Trump wrote. "They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years." USA TODAY reached out to the White House for comment on Pence's interview. Marjorie Taylor Green, Mike Johnson among calls for transparency Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, were among the Trump allies to push for transparency on the Epstein investigation. The calls came after the Justice Department released a memo earlier this month stating that a systematic review "revealed no incriminating 'client list" and that "no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." The memo also said the department found no evidence to support theories that Epstein was murdered while in custody, affirming New York's chief medical examiner's ruling that he died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019. "No one believes there is not a client list," Greene wrote on a July 8 X post. In a July 15 interview with the Benny Johnson Show, Johnson also called for the release of more Epstein records, saying: "I'm for transparency." "It's a very delicate subject," he said. "But we should put everything out there and let the people decide." Trump says he doesn't understand 'fascination' with case Trump said he doesn't understand the "fascination" with the case, blaming "bad people" for the attention and coverage it continues to receive. "It's sordid, but it's boring," he told reporters on July 15,. "And I don't understand why it keeps going. Really only bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going." While Epstein died before sitting for trial, the registered sex offender pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of a minor for prostitution in Florida in 2008. Trump, who had a friendship with Epstein years ago, has appeared in legal documents concerning Epstein's crimes but is not implicated. Contributing: Zac Anderson, USA TODAY
