US President Donald Trump has allegedly ordered the release of the names of the suspected members of the notorious pedophile ring associated with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and former investment banker. This was stated by US Attorney General and Acting US General of the Department of Justice, Pamela Bondi, in an interview with Fox News on Friday.
When asked by the Fox News moderator if the release of the list of clients of the pedophile exclusive club run by Epstein was indeed planned, Bondi replied, “It’s on my desk now for review. There was the instruction from President Trump: ‘I will release it, I will release the JFK files.’ They are all in the clearance process.”
When asked if she had seen anything in the lists that had surprised her, Bondi said, “Not yet.”
In the US government system, the Attorney General is often referred to as the General of the Department of Justice, combining the functions of the two offices without being officially referred to as a minister.
Epstein had connections and, allegedly, clients of his pedophile ring at the highest levels, including former US President Bill Clinton, British Prince Andrew, US actor Kevin Spacey and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. In January 2024, court documents were released as part of a proceeding against his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, which included the names of over 170 people linked to Epstein.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting minors for prostitution and a deal with the justice system protected him from further federal charges for the sexual abuse of minors. In 2019, the businessman was re-arrested on charges of human trafficking, but was found dead in his New York prison cell before the trial could take place. Officially, his death is recorded as a suicide.
