"Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes, including former President Bill Clinton. Bondi posted on X that she was assigning Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the probe, capping an eventful week in which congressional Republicans released nearly 23,000 pages of documents from Epstein's estate and House Democrats seized on emails mentioning Trump."
"None of the men he mentioned in a social media post demanding the probe has been accused of sexual misconduct by any of Epstein's victims. Hours before Bondi's announcement, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he would ask her, the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Epstein's involvement and relationship with Clinton and others, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and LinkedIn founder and Democratic donor Reid Hoffman."
Pam Bondi ordered a Manhattan federal prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to political figures, including former President Bill Clinton. Bondi named Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the probe after congressional Republicans released nearly 23,000 pages from Epstein's estate. House Democrats focused on emails mentioning Donald Trump. Trump asked the Justice Department, the FBI and Bondi to investigate Epstein's relationships with Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman and financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase. Trump called the matter the "Epstein Hoax" and compared it to the Mueller "Russia" investigation. None of the men he targeted have been accused by Epstein's victims.
