Donald Trump was notified several months ago by Pam Bondi that his name appears multiple times in the Jeffrey Epstein files. On the same day, she advised against releasing all the documents, as reported in a new article.
Top administration officials revealed that during a meeting in May 2025, Attorney General Bondi informed Trump that his name appeared in the Epstein files more often than previously believed, along with mentions of hundreds of other notable figures.
The files contained ‘unverified hearsay’ about Trump and the individuals who had social connections to Epstein, the officials claim.
In that meeting, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, Bondi suggested that it would be unwise for the administration to release additional files due to their containing child pornography and personal details about victims.
Trump, the sources claim, deferred to his attorney general on whether to make additional files public.
Just because the president is named in the files does not implicate him in any wrongdoing or connect him to Epstein’s child sex trafficking crimes.
Administration officials told the Journal that Bondi’s May meeting with Trump was a routine briefing covering a number of topics – and the Epstein files wasn’t the focus.
White House communications director Steven Cheung slammed the Journal’s report as ‘fake news’ in a statement to the Daily Mail.

President Donald Trump’s past association with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is well known. The two ran in similar New York and Florida circles in the 1980s and 1990s
‘The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about,’ he said.
Trump denied that Bondi told him his name was flagged in the files after he emerged from another meeting with her on July 15.
He replied, ‘No, no,’ when asked by a reporter whether his name being in the files came up at the briefing.
Trump told reporters on the South Lawn that Bondi had ‘given us just a very quick briefing’ on their contents before accusing former FBI Director James Comey of ‘making up’ the files.
A DOJ official told the Daily Mail that communications failures are to blame for the botched Epstein files review.
And the entire fallout was ‘avoidable.’
It’s fueling conspiracies that there’s a wider ‘cover-up’ being hatched by the administration.
Trump’s MAGA fans have knives out for him as they await the documents promised to them on the campaign trail regarding the disgraced pedophile.
It’s already known that Trump’s name appeared on Epstein’s flight logs, as well as the names of his second wife Marla Maples and his son Eric and daughter Tiffany.
Epstein’s ‘black book’ contact list also included entries for Trump’s first wife Ivana, their daughter Ivanka and the president’s brother Robert.
Trump has had recent beef with the Wall Street Journal, threatening to sue the publication and its owner Rupert Murdoch for publishing last week a piece claiming he sent Epstein a 50th birthday card with a hand-drawn outline of a naked women.
The paper claims that Trump wrote in the card’s note: ‘May every day be another wonderful secret.’
‘I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,’ Trump fired back when asked if he transmitted such a card. ‘It’s not my language. It’s not my words.’

It’s been known for years that Trump is among the trove of documents in the so-called Epstein files that includes his ‘black book’ of contacts and his flight logs for his private plane

When speaking to reporters on July 15 (pictured), Trump claimed that Bondi had not discussed in a meeting on the Epstein files that his name appeared in the documents
This was followed-up by many of his past doodles coming back up, including mostly outlines of buildings and the New York City skyline.
The Justice Department told the Wall Street Journal that Trump was made aware of the findings of the Epstein files as part of the ‘routine briefing.’
Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reportedly said that nothing was found in the files that would mandate an additional investigation – or even prosecution.
‘As part of our routine briefing, we made the President aware of the findings,’ they told the Journal.
The Daily Mail reached out to the Justice Department for additional details on the meeting.

Bondi recommended in that same meeting, according to the Wall Street Journal , that the administration not release more files because they contained child pornography and personal information for victims
Bondi has drawn ire and confusion from the MAGA base for say in February that she had the Epstein ‘client list’ on her desk ready for review. But the July memo said there was no such list found in the DOJ review.
During a Cabinet meeting on July 8, Bondi sought to clarify that she was actually referencing the complete paperwork related to the investigation into Epstein’s child sex trafficking crimes.
She then said that the reason more evidence was not released is because it contained child pornography.
‘They turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein,’ the attorney general said. ‘Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.’
