According to the officer, internal documents that were shared earlier this year was already recognized with conservative influencers that Trump’s name appears in the relevant files. The Wall Street Journal writes that President Donald Trump was told in May that his name appears several times in the Epstein documents.

Earlier, the White House had labeled a message from The Wall Street Journal as ‘fake news’. The newspaper reported that Minister of Justice Pam Bondi Trump had informed in May that his name appears in documents from the Ministry on the EPstein investigation. The controversial financier Epstein committed suicide in his cell in 2019, after he was sued for sexual abuse and human trafficking.

Also on Wednesday a judge rejected a request from the Trump government to make witness statements from the EPstein investigation public. This made an attempt by the president to parry criticism from his own circle.

MPs demand inspection documents

A committee of the American House of Representatives approved a summons to the Ministry of Justice on Wednesday to release all documents on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. American media report that.

The summons still has to be officially ratified by committee chairman James Comer. The motion was submitted by the Democratic representative Summer Lee and received support from both Democrats and three Republicans, with eight votes in front and two against.

News channel CNN speaks of a remarkable break with the Republican party top, who would rather leave the treatment of the Epstein files to President Donald Trump’s government.

“Yes, I think the American population wants openness,” Lee told CNN when she was asked if voters really care about this.
