White House Denies Trump Epstein Claim
The White House has denied recent claims that former President Donald Trump was involved in the Jeffrey Epstein case, dismissing reports that his name appeared in secret files as “fake news.” Officials clarified that while Trump’s name came up during internal briefings, no evidence of wrongdoing has been found.
Trump Briefed, No Charges
According to senior officials, Trump was informed by the Justice Department that his name appeared in archived materials related to Epstein. These included logs and investigative files that mentioned numerous individuals. However, the White House emphasized that these mentions do not imply any criminal involvement and no further legal action has been recommended.
No Special Prosecutor Assigned
The Biden administration confirmed that no special prosecutor has been appointed in relation to Trump and the Epstein case, contrary to speculation. Previous investigations have found no grounds to pursue legal action against the former President in this matter.
Calls for Transparency Continue
Despite the denials, some members of Congress are still demanding more transparency. There are calls for the release of additional files related to Epstein, particularly those involving flight logs and communications. However, legal experts have pointed out that grand jury materials are protected under federal law, and releasing them would require a major policy shift or court order.
Officials Reaffirm No Evidence
The Justice Department reiterated that multiple investigations into Epstein’s connections have not revealed any concrete link between Trump and Epstein’s criminal activities. Authorities maintain that while several high-profile names appeared in the broader Epstein files, no prosecutable evidence has been found against many of them.
