Donald Trump Said Epstein Files 'Could Destroy People'—Bill O'Reilly
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Bill O'Reilly, a former Fox host, said he had a conversation with President Donald Trump earlier this year about the Jeffrey Epstein files, which the president said could "destroy" innocent people. On NewsNation's Cuomo on Wednesday, O'Reilly said he had spoken with Trump "man to man, eye to eye" about the Epstein files on St. Patrick's Day. "He said, and I agree, there are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein's conduct," O'Reilly said in the interview. "They maybe had lunch with him or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another," he added. "If that name gets out, those people are destroyed because there's not going to be any context." Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via an email sent outside regular business hours. President Donald Trump at a Cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C., on July 8. President Donald Trump at a Cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C., on July It Matters The Trump administration is facing mounting criticism from conservatives over the Justice Department's decision not to release additional documents from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation. The department said in a two-page memo on Monday that Epstein did not maintain a "client list" and had died by suicide. The memo said that no more files related to the investigation would be made public after a monthslong review of evidence in the government's possession. As Trump had suggested while campaigning for the White House that he would release documents related to the Epstein case, the DOJ's announcement may deepen fissures between the president and his MAGA supporters. What To Know O'Reilly said Trump should have Attorney General Pam Bondi hold a press conference to detail what investigators learned while protecting the names of innocent people. He said: "All you gotta do is say to the Attorney General, 'You're gonna hold a press conference. "You're going to tell them generally what we've learned about the Epstein case in a very methodical way. You'll answer some questions. You're not to mention any names because that could destroy people.'" He added: "You can't destroy human beings by putting out the files, whatever they may be. But you certainly can have Attorney General Bondi say, 'This is what we know, and you know, we're going to protect the innocent, and he's a heinous individual.'" O'Reilly also said Merrick Garland, who served as attorney general during the Biden administration, should appear at the press conference with Bondi. In February, Bondi suggested during a Fox News interview that the supposed Epstein client list was sitting on her desk for review. She has since clarified that she was referring broadly to the files related to Epstein and not the supposed client list that some believed would implicate prominent individuals in sex crimes. Bondi released a trove of files related to the case in February, but she faced pressure to release more after the document dump failed to deliver any major revelations. In a since-deleted social media post, billionaire Elon Musk said without evidence during his acrimonious fallout with Trump last month that the Epstein files had not been released because Trump was featured in them. The president dismissed the claim, saying he "had nothing to do with it." What People Are Saying Bill O'Reilly wrote on his website on Wednesday: "This Epstein file controversy is hurting the credibility of the Justice Department and, by extension, the President himself. "On March 17, I discussed the situation with the President in the White House and recommended that a summary of what Justice had learned about the villain be made public. Both the President and I agreed that all information cannot be put out there because some innocent people had access to Epstein, and their lives could be badly damaged if proper context is lacking. And we all know the media doesn't care at all about proper context. So, there's danger for anyone whose name pops up connected to Epstein, no matter what happened. However, Americans should be told exactly what the government knows. You can redact names. Attorney General Bondi has an obligation to hold a press conference and answer questions directly. That's what honest government does." President Donald Trump challenged a reporter who asked a question about Epstein during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, saying: "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years." He added: "I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration." Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters during Tuesday's Cabinet meeting: "In February, I did an interview on Fox, and it's been getting a lot of attention because I said—I was asked a question about the client list, and my response was, 'It's sitting on my desk to be reviewed,' meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well. That's what I meant by that. "Also, to the tens of thousands of video, they turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein. Child porn is what they were. Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day." The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in their memo: "One of our highest priorities is combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends. "To that end, while we have labored to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government's possession, it is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." Elon Musk, who has announced that he is forming a new political party, wrote on X on Tuesday: "How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won't release the Epstein files?" What Happens Next It remains to be seen how the Trump administration will respond to the criticism, and whether any further details or files about the Epstein case will be released.

Ex-Boston cop indicted for beating man after St. Patrick's Day parade, DA says
A former Boston police sergeant detective was indicted in connection with an intoxicated man who was beaten the night of the St. Patrick's Day parade in March, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden's office said Wednesday. On June 25, Christopher Cunniff, 59, of Quincy, was indicted on charges of aggravated assault and battery and aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Hayden's office said in a short statement. Two days later, the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission issued a suspension order for Cunniff. Prosecutors accuse Cunniff of beating a man who was intoxicated and left the man in a South Boston driveway at around 11 p.m., Hayden's office said. 'Officers observed the victim to have contusions on his face and head,' according to a police report obtained by the Boston Globe. 'Officers also observed the victim's left eye to be heavily swollen.' Cunniff, who was assigned to the department's domestic violence unit, retired "from the department the same week after learning of the investigation by" Hayden's office and the Boston Police Department's Anti-Corruption Division, Hayden's office said. More information is expected to be released ahead of Cunniff's arraignment, scheduled for July 10, the statement read.

Dublin firefighter charged with rape to be retried in October after hung jury
A firefighter from Ireland accused of raping a woman in a Boston hotel room on St. Patrick's Day weekend in 2024 will go to trial for the second time in six months in October, prosecutors confirmed. Terence Crosbie is charged with one count of rape in connection with the incident at the Omni Parker House in Boston on March 15, 2024. His first trial ended in a mistrial last week after four days of jury deliberations and five days of testimony, court records show. Crosbie's second trial will begin Oct. 14 in Suffolk Superior Court. A member of the Dublin Fire Brigade, Crosbie and other firefighters were visiting the city over St. Patrick's Day weekend. He is accused of raping a 28-year-old woman in the hotel room he was sharing with a fellow firefighter, who the woman had previously had consensual sex with after a day of drinking. The woman told police she and the other man fell asleep in separate beds after having sex. Around 2 a.m. on the morning of March 15, she said she awoke to a stranger raping her. She told him to stop and eventually managed to push him off. The woman recalled the man saying, 'This guy is sleeping. I know you want this,' according to the report. He also tried to kiss her and push her against the wall several times as she tried to leave. The woman then texted her friend to say she had been assaulted, the report said. Hotel security footage matched the woman's story, and she identified a man who'd shared a hotel room with Crosbie as the man she'd had consensual sex with, police said in a report. In an interview with police, Crosbie said he'd seen the man he was staying with come into the room with the woman and left to give them privacy, the report said. Hours later, he entered the room after knocking and saw the woman leave but didn't interact with her, he told police. Massachusetts State Police arrested Crosbie on the tarmac at Logan Airport just before the plane he was on was set to depart for Ireland, the district attorney's office said previously. He'd changed his flight to an earlier day after an interview with police.
