In a bombshell claim, the Wall Street Journal reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in Epstein documents. The president was also told at the meeting that “many other high-profile figures were also named” in the Epstein files, and that the “files contained what officials felt was unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump, who had socialized with Epstein in the past,” the Journal reported.

WSJ report comes after Trump sued Murdoch

The Wall Street Journal report came after Trump sued Rupert Murdoch and WSJ after it claimed that Trump wrote a birthday letter to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and that note was not in good taste. Apart from calling the note fake, Trump announced that he sued WSJ and Rupert Murdoch.

White House says latest WSJ report fake

White House communications director Steven Cheung told CNBC, “The fact is that the President kicked [Epstein] out of his [Mar-a-Lago] club for being a creep.”“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,” Cheung said.The WSJ report claimed Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche conveyed to Trump that he was mentioned several times on the documents. Bondi and Blanche issued a joint statement after Journal’s report and said they routinely briefed Trumpo about the findings. “The DOJ and FBI reviewed the Epstein Files and reached the conclusion set out in the July 6 memo. 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,” Blanche and Bondi said.Appearing on the documents does not implicate Donald Trump in any wrongdoing, as there are many documents pertaining to Epstein and Trump and Epstein were once close.
