Bondi's announcement came after an explosive Wall Street Journal report about a letter Trump sent to Epstein in 2003.

The president’s directive follows weeks of uproar surrounding the handling of the so-called Epstein files and after Trump announced his plans to sue the Wall Street Journal after the paper published a bombshell report detailing a bawdy birthday card Trump allegedly gave to Jeffrey Epstein.

US President Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release additional information regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

The president said a Wall Street Journal report alleging that a racy letter sent to Epstein on his 50th Birthday in 2003 bore his name and signature was “FAKE NEWS.”

Online users shared a screenshot of the February 2025 letter, suggesting it contradicted a finding that Jeffrey Epstein didn't keep a "client list."

Intense clashing over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has influenced betting markets about who could leave the Trump administration in 2025.

The Trump administration is struggling to contain the fallout of a decision not to release any more records related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor in the Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases and the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, according to reports.
