Overview

• House GOP leader Mike Johnson and fellow Republicans have demanded the complete publication of Jeffrey Epstein investigation records to ensure transparency for the public.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi has refused to release any new documents, citing a July memo from the Justice Department and FBI that found no secret “customer list.”
• President Trump has defended Bondi’s decision and said only “credible” information will be disclosed, placing the burden of release on the Justice Department.
• Disappointed MAGA supporters have amplified conspiracy theories—some claim Trump appears in the sealed files—and were labeled “weaklings” by the president on Truth Social.
• Reports indicate that Maurene Comey, a lead federal prosecutor on the Epstein case, was removed from her position, intensifying questions over the administration’s handling of the investigation.
