Attorney General Told Trump His Name Appeared in Epstein Files
New york times ^ | 21st July 2025 | Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush

Posted on 07/24/2025 1:08:14 AM PDT by Cronos

Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in the spring that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to three people with knowledge of the exchange.

The disclosure came as part of a broader briefing on the re-examination of the case against Mr. Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, by F.B.I. agents and prosecutors. It was made by Ms. Bondi during a meeting that also included the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, and covered a variety of topics. Ms. Bondi frequently meets with Mr. Trump to brief him on various matters, officials said.

Ms. Bondi and Mr. Blanche, both of whom previously served as lawyers for Mr. Trump, informed the president that his name, as well as those of other high-profile figures, had come up in their re-examination of documents connected to the case that had not previously been made public.

It is not clear how significant the references to Mr. Trump are. But the briefing sheds light on private West Wing discussions at a moment when the president’s team is desperately trying to move on and quell the rebellion among those Trump supporters who feel that he — and some of his senior appointees — led them astray with campaign claims that they would make the files available. Mr. Trump’s top two F.B.I. appointees were among those who were adamant, before taking on their government roles, that there was more to uncover in the files. And earlier this year, Ms. Bondi described the files as significant material to wade through.

There are going to be a lot of people named in those files, not just Donald Trump

Some of those files are going to date back to about 2007 in the original indictment against Epstein back in Florida. Trump is one of the people who turned him in back then and testified against you so of course, his name is gonna be mentioned.

They are going to be all manner of prominent names mentioned in the Epstein files when you realize there are thousands of pages in them.

Don’t forget it was the Trump administration originally who indicted Epstein in 2019

I think that if there was anything of a derogatory criminal unsavory nature about Donald Trump it would’ve already come out a long time ago and don’t forget the bad administration had control of those files for four years. If Trump had committed any type of actions deemed the criminal or otherwise, they would’ve released them or leaked them to the public.

Trump is going to have to release the files regardless of what’s in them otherwise it’s going to continue to look like a cover-up and may end up with obstruction of justice charges even though there’s nothing there that’s what got Nixon obstruction of justice nothing else

The media is playing games. We know all this. He took his plane between Miami and NYC 7 times. It's in the airplane logs. And that was YEARS ago. They led the life of the rich and famous...and partied together.

Trump never went to the island and kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago at some point.

This is a nothing burger. I met Ken Rex McElroy in a bar in Savannah Missouri
In 1979. The town of Skidmore killed the SOB in “Broad Daylight” on a Saturday morning. He was a mean evil person but I also knew a man that arrested him to keep a Missouri State Trooper from killing him near Fillmore Missouri. There’s a lot you folks don’t know what happened back then. Same is true in the Epstein case. He’s dead and Maxwell is in jail. The many hoax’s that the Dems pulled are being looked at. If you are really charged up get off your ass and follow what Skidmore did.

Of course Pres. Trump's name was on the list.

Epstein's Op was to ensnare as many rich and famous people as possible. Epstein hung out with as many RAF people as possible to do just that.

I doubt that the POTUS did anything wrong; it's just the nature of this Op.

Big whoop.

Typical MSM ploy. Trump works with Law Enforcement against Jeffery becomes the implication that since Trump’s name is in the file it’s because Trump was a Bad Man…..

NY Times. It figures. Now that the noose is tightening around Obama’s neck, they are going to try and discredit Trump as much as possible. Trump’s name in Epstein files means nothing. If Pres. Trump ever took advantage of a young girl on Epstein’s island it would have already been on every news media there is, and the girl or girls would have lawsuits for millions.

Given that Trump doesn't drink, he isn't much of a partier.

His reputation in NYC was that he would attend the big galas just to make an appearance, work the room long enough to shake hands, and then go home early to watch TV and make trolling calls to local radio talk shows.

Trump’s relationship with Epstein was “acquaintance” with “finances” being the common thread...not good buddy...or real friend.

The Slimes must, at all costs, deflect attention from the treason of the Bamster, Hillary and FJB.

If you think our enemedia is bad, you should see the UK's.

The UK's enemedia is all over the Trump Esptein scandal/cover-up...

And you know why?

A case in point, also from Europe...

A massive crowd in Poland started chanting 'Donald Trump' at a Karol Nawrocki campaign speech. "Donald Trump is not just a person, he's a symbol of freedom that will cover all the free world."

Note to Europe's Deep States: If the American public ever finds out what you lot have really been up to...

God help you.

If his name were in there before, Turban Dick Durban would have leaked it when he was on judiciary.

And Deep States, plural, wouldn’t have have had to try to kill Trump twice.

The game is obvious the WSJ pushed the hit piece and the rest of the news media runs old news, repackages facts as inuendo to try to deceive everyone into believing trump being in the file means he did something wrong.

All the writing labors greatly to imply that and try to deceive the reading from the fact that many are listed as part of mostly routine activities conducting within those business circles.

This is all a coordinate psyop by the deep state

This head fake was obvious. That so many respected people became panicans and swallowed it whole was sickening. The embedded agitators just had to egg them on.

Bullsh__. The Times creating a false narrative. These people aren’t journalists, they’re liars. This will be their latest version of “Russia, Russia,” planting the suspicion that Trump is a pedophile. We’ve seen enough of how these “journalists” operate.

The Times won’t write about the charges against the Obama Administration, but they’ll publish this crap
