Donald Trump told his name was in Epstein files: reports

Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here When Attorney General Pam Bondi briefed President Donald Trump in May on the Justice Department's review of the documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, she told him that his name appeared in the files, sources familiar with the discussion told CNN. The conversation, which also included Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, was characterised by two White House officials as a "routine briefing" that covered the scope of the Justice Department's findings. Trump's name appearing in the files, they said, was not the sole focus of the discussions. Bondi also raised in the meeting that several names of high-profile figures were also mentioned, and that investigators did not find evidence of a so-called client list or evidence refuting that Epstein died by suicide, the officials said. Attorney-General Pam Bondi reportedly told Donald Trump his name is in the Epstein files. (AP) The sources familiar with the department's review said the files appeared to include several unsubstantiated claims that the Justice Department found not to be credible, including those relating to Trump. It wasn't clear in what context Trump's name appeared in the files. Like many high-powered people in 1990s New York, Trump was an associate of Epstein's, who worked to cultivate celebrities to burnish his business. The revelation that his name appears in the documents does little to advance previous knowledge about his ties to the late sex offender. "The White House is not surprised by this – Trump's name was present in the binders that Bondi produced and handed out," one of the White House officials said, adding that many of the materials already released by the Justice Department had included mention of the president's name. "The White House does not view this as groundbreaking or new or surprising at all," the official said, adding that there is no evidence that Trump was involved in any wrongdoing. "The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep," White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement to CNN, referring to Epstein. "This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about."

The revelations about the meeting contradict Trump's more recent denials that he was told he was in the files. Pressed last week on whether Bondi had told him he was named in the documents, he said, "No, no. She's given us just a very quick briefing." Trump has struggled to tamp down weeks of backlash over the administration's decision not to release more documents related to the Epstein investigation — a move that infuriated a vocal segment of the MAGA base and put the president at odds with some of his most ardent supporters.

(Getty) Inside the White House, officials were outraged that Bondi did not redact Trump's name from publicly available materials contained in Epstein binders distributed to influencers in February, sources said. Her failure to protect the president during the episode has been a longstanding point of contention between the DOJ and the White House. "The DOJ and FBI reviewed the Epstein Files and reached the conclusion set out in the July 6 memo," Bondi and Blanche said in a statement. "Nothing in the files warranted further investigation or prosecution, and we have filed a motion in court to unseal the underlying grand jury transcripts. As part of our routine briefing, we made the President aware of the findings." The White House has dismissed the ongoing focus on the Epstein files, arguing that it's distracting from the administration's accomplishments and aiding Democrats' efforts to damage the president. But a growing and bipartisan chorus of lawmakers have since called for a full release of the documents, forcing Republican leaders on Capitol Hill to cut short their legislative session to avoid taking a series of votes on the matter. Trump denied writing the letter and has since sued the Wall Street Journal over its publication of that article.

Labor needs to 'turn the ship around' in second term, AI Group's Innes Willox declares ahead of economic roundtable

Labor needs to 'turn the ship around' through its upcoming economic roundtable where the Albanese government's goals to boost productivity and investment in Australia will take centre stage. Australia's ailing productivity will be the subject of the roundtable led by Treasurer Jim Chalmers next month where leaders across business, politics and unions will discuss the nation's poor growth. AI Group chief executive Innes Willox is one of the attendees and urged the Albanese government, which has returned to parliament with a massive majority, to develop a clear picture of how to drive the nation's economy forward at the roundtable. 'This is an opportunity for the government to … get clear understandings around the big challenges that we face around productivity and investment and all the things that go into that,' Mr Willox told Sky News' Business Now. 'This is sort of like a legacy moment, a watershed moment. Not only for the government but also for the country because we have one chance here to turn the ship around and start to get things heading in the right direction.' Mr Willox was hopeful of genuine change from the Albanese government as he said there had been an 'epiphany' from some Labor members about the nation's economic future. He said it came from a novel by two US journalists titled 'Abundance' that had become popular in Canberra. The shift, Mr Willox said, was a "recognition" that "governments have indulged in process over outcomes, dollars over delivery and complexity over certainty". 'We need to turn all of that around so that we get government focused on the things that matter," Mr Willox said. 'Government in many ways, whether business likes it or not, is a partner of business, but it's a partner that has to act in the interests of business as well. 'If they don't, we're just going to continue to see a decline in living standards.' Economic and productivity reform was a lower priority during the Albanese government's first term, despite slow growth and the country sitting in a per capita recession. Labor struggled with sky-high post-pandemic inflation during its first term - which ate into household budgets. Inflation rose more than 17 per cent over about three and a half years while wages fell behind, prompting Labor to introduce an array of cost of living assistance measures such as energy bill relief. Labor will look towards fostering long term economic prosperity at the productivity roundtable from August 19 to 21. Here, the government said it will strive to "enhance economic resilience and strengthen budget sustainability".

Trump told in May that his name appears in Epstein files: report

Washington: US President Donald Trump is among many of Jeffrey Epstein's associates whose name appears in the 'Epstein files' – records from investigations of the financier's alleged sex-trafficking crimes – according to a US media report. The Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal reported Attorney-General Pam Bondi and her deputy informed the president his name was in the documents during a meeting at the White House in May, citing officials familiar with the exchange. Trump was told many other high-profile figures were also named, according to the Journal 's story. The meeting was reportedly a routine briefing and Trump's appearance in the files was not the focus. Being named in the files is not necessarily an accusation of wrongdoing. Trump was friends with Epstein in the 1990s, and they mixed in the same New York social circles, before falling out in the 2000s, according to Trump. But the report of Trump's appearance in the documents will intensify speculation about why the administration has refused to release the files – something Trump indicated he would do – and fuel anger in the president's MAGA base. Loading In a statement to this masthead, White House communications director Steven Cheung did not explicitly deny The Wall Street Journal story, but said it was a continuation of 'fake news' stories aimed at attacking Trump. 'The fact is that the president kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep,' Cheung said, referring to Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. 'This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russia-gate scandal, which President Trump was right about.'
