Report Says U.S. AG Told Trump He Was In Epstein Files, Facing Calls To Testify

UNITED STATES – Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing democratic calls to testify before Congress following a newspaper’s revelation that she told president Donald Trump that his name appeared in the files of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bondi told Trump his name was among many high-profile figures mentioned in the files, which the Justice Department this month said it would not be releasing despite a clamor from online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and members of Trump’s base.

Trump’s personal ties to Epstein are well-established and his name is already known to have been included in records related to the wealthy financier, who killed himself in jail in 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
