"Donald Trump said he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and [former President] Bill Clinton, Larry Summers [former president of Harvard and a member of Clinton's administration], [LinkedIn co-founder] Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him."
"It's unclear whether Bondi will accept Trump's assignment, or how the investigation might materialize if she does. It's also unclear whether as so often happens with Trump his grandiose announcement will ultimately amount to nothing. Much less clear is whether it will achieve its diversionary objective: the release this week of more than 20,000 documents obtained by Congress from the family of the pedophile financier has resurrected a ghost that has haunted the president for years:"
Trump used his Truth social platform to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice, and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JP Morgan Chase and others. The directive contravenes norms by involving the White House with an ostensibly independent attorney general. Trump framed the move as a response to Democrats allegedly reviving the Epstein case to distract from their failures. The request may aim to divert attention from his refusal to release Bondi's files on Epstein. Uncertainty remains about whether Bondi will comply, how any probe would proceed, and whether the announcement will have substantive effect.
