A TOP Republican ally of President Donald Trump has called for the release of the files related to disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The news comes as Trump labeled the widely discussed files as “pretty boring,” despite numerous theories circulating around Epstein’s death and his alleged client list.

The Department of Justice (DoJ) last week announced that Epstein died by suicide – although conspiracy theories are to the contrary.

The DoJ added that there was no client list to be revealed to the public and no further revelations would be made regarding the case.

But Trump’s supporters have been left divided for not released the much-hyped records in Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.

Many within his MAGA movement allege that the files about the paedophile’s crimes have been withheld to protect big names.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed his approval for the release of these documents, just days following the Justice Department’s announcement that the case was essentially closed.

During a podcast discussion with Benny Johnson, the Republican stated: “It’s a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.”

“I’m for transparency,” he added.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi had suggested in February that a supposed client list was sitting on her desk waiting for review.

Though last week she appeared to suggest she’d been referring generally to the Epstein case file, not a client list.

Bondi said: “I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because I said I was asked a question about the client list, and my response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed.

“Meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well. That’s what I meant by that.”

Conservative figures have since demanded to see all the files related to Epstein’s crimes, even as Trump has tried to put the issue to bed.

Last night, Trump said the DoJ should release all “credible” information from its probe into the notorious sex criminal.

Though he repeated his claim that the Epstein files were “made up” by his Democratic predecessors in the White House – even though he said multiple times during the election campaign that he would “probably” release them.

He told reporters in the White House: “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.

“It’s pretty boring stuff.”

THE ‘EPSTEIN FILES’

One key theory centres on a rumoured client list of individuals who committed sex offences alongside Epstein.

The Trump administration has insisted that no such list exists.

Sceptics also allege suspicious circumstances in Epstein’s death, such as the security cameras around his cell apparently malfunctioning on the night he died, alongside other irregularities.

Trump was dragged into the conspiracy theories after his former advisor Elon Musk claimed in June — in a now-deleted X post — that Trump was “in the Epstein files”.

His administration’s efforts to appease demands for a full disclosure of the so-called Epstein files have largely fallen short.

A bundle released in February that promised to shed light on the Epstein case contained little new information.

Meanwhile, an almost 11-hour video published this month to dispel theories that Epstein was murdered fell flat.

The camera angle showed a section of the New York prison on the night Epstein died – but appeared to be missing a minute of footage, fueling more speculation online.

Bondi explained that the lost minute in the footage – which occurs at 11.59pm – was due to the prison’s outdated system.

The missing minute happens at 11.59pm – with the time switching from 11.58.59pm to midnight.

Bondi said: “There was a minute that was off the counter, and what we learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video… every night should have the same minute missing.”

A memo from the Justice Department and FBI last week saying the Epstein files did not contain evidence that would justify further investigation was met by calls for the heads of each agency to resign.

Epstein, a wealthy American financier, was first charged with sex offenses in 2006 after the parents of a 14-year-old girl told police that he had molested their daughter at his Florida home.

He avoided federal charges — which could have seen him face life in prison — due to a controversial plea deal with prosecutors that saw him jailed for just under 13 months.

In July 2019, he was arrested again in New York and charged with trafficking dozens of teenage girls and engaging in sex acts with them in exchange for money.

Prosecutors said he worked with employees and associates to ensure a “steady supply of minor victims to abuse.”

Epstein pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. On August 10, 2019, while in custody awaiting trial, authorities said he was found dead in his prison cell after hanging himself.

A separate case against Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022 for helping him abuse girls, detailed Epstein’s connections with high-profile figures like Britain’s Prince Andrew.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing.

The Sun on Sunday revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell is seeking a pardon from Donald Trump.

Her legal team believes the former socialite has a “window of momentum” after the Jeffrey Epstein inquiry was brought to an abrupt close in the US.
