Trump Orders DOJ to Probe Epstein Ties to Dems
The News
President Trump called on the Department of Justice to probe late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s links to Democratic bigwigs and institutions like JP Morgan Chase – a request Attorney General Pam Bondi was ready to launch Friday.
Bondi instructed the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, to oversee an investigation, vowing it would be handled “with urgency and integrity.”
Earlier Friday, Trump bunched former President Bill Clinton, ex-treasury secretary Larry Summers, and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman with Epstein as he insisted the convicted sex offender is more connected to Democrats than the GOP.
“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island.’ Stay tuned!!!”
Reactions
“SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I’ve asked him to take the lead,” she wrote in a social media post.
“As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people.”
“We regret any association we had with the man, but did not help him commit his heinous acts,” JPMorgan said in a statement Friday.
“We ended our relationship with him years before his arrest on sex trafficking charges.”
The Department of Justice referred to Bondi’s social media post when asked for comment.
What's Next
But Congress has continued to seek answers, including demanding Bill and Hillary Clinton come in for questioning and inviting Epstein victims back to DC next week before a vote demanding the release of the full DOJ files in the case.

The issue of Epstein was pushed back into the national spotlight this week after a tranche of new documents connected to the disgraced financier was released by Congress as Democrats tried to highlight Epstein mentioning Trump in a few emails.
Trump and Epstein were once friends years ago, but had a falling out. Trump claimed he booted Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for stealing young female employees from his club. One such former Mar-a-Lago worker and Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre, said Trump wasn’t part of Epstein’s sex crimes and “couldn’t have been friendlier.”
Clinton socialized with Epstein in the early 2000s, including flying on his private jet several times before Epstein’s legal trouble.
Summers was also associated with Epstein and accepted donations from Epstein when he served as Harvard University president. Hoffman, a prominent Democratic donor and LinkedIn founder, has said he met with Epstein numerous times in professional situations.
All three Democratic figures have expressed regret about having a relationship with Epstein. No credible evidence has surfaced that indicates any of them were involved in Epstein’s sickening actions.
JPMorgan, which Trump also blasted Friday, paid $290 million in 2023 to some of Epstein’s victims in a settlement following accusations it ignored his sex trafficking.
While the bank did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement, the deal came after disclosures showed the powerful bank overlooked internal warnings and red flags about Epstein because he was an important client.
The newly-disclosed emails from Epstein showed him talking about Clinton and also corresponding with author Michael Wolff and a then-New York Times reporter.
In one email to Summers in 2017, he bashed Trump, which the Democratic National Committee bizarrely tried to promote Thursday.
There’s been an ongoing push from the public for years across the Biden and Trump administrations for officials to release more information about investigations into Epstein.
While Bondi told Fox News in February the Epstein files were on her desk, she and FBI Director Kash Patel insisted over the summer there wasn’t more information to divulge.
