Donald Trump tried on Tuesday, July 15, extinguishing the growing controversy around the Epstein issue saying that it is favorable to the publication of “credible” elements of the archive, while he does not say “understand” why many of his supporters are interested in him.
This international case for sexual exploitation of minors has ignited a margin of American law for years. But from a government decision last week, part of them have criticized the US president a lack of transparency.
“I don’t understand why the case of Jeffrey Epstein might interest someone. It’s quite boring,” Donald Trump told La Prensa. “He has been dead for a long time (…), I don’t understand what interest or fascination is.” If there is “something credible, I would say that it is necessary to give them” and make it public, he added.
He will return to his Minister of Justice, Pam Bondi, to make public “what she considers credible,” he said before, defending her.
A memorandum published in early July
The death of Jeffrey Epstein, found hanging in his cell in New York in 2019 before being judged, fed countless conspiracy theories that was killed to avoid revelations involving leading personalities.
The figures close to the “Make America Great Again” movement of Donald Trump have carried out a campaign for several years to request the publication of documents allegedly hidden by the Government. When the return to the power of Donald Trump in January, his administration promised to “raise the veil” in this “disgusting” matter.
But in a joint memo published on July 7, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI have dismissed the thesis of the murder in the prison of Jeffrey Epstein and confirmed their suicide. They also claim to have discovered any “list” of their “clients” during an in -depth exam of the entire file.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Pam Bondi refused to develop about the possibility of new documents. “Our memorandum talks about himself,” he said.
Mike Johnson asks “Transparency”
This text led to a wave of furious messages on social networks from “Maga” accounts. The conservative figure Tucker Carlson, former presenter of Fox News, accused the Ministry of Justice of the need to “quell” the truth and “insult the population.”
A sign of growing pressure on Donald Trump and his government, the Republican President of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, requested the publication of the archive, saying that it was favorable to “transparency.” “We should put everything on the table and let people decide,” said the tenor of the convention in the conservative podcaster Benny Johnson to Congress.
On Saturday in his social platform, Donald Trump had already called his followers not to “waste time and energy in Jeffrey Epstein, which they don’t care.” Rare fact for this social network acquired to the cause of the Republican billionaire, the vast majority of the comments under the message criticized these statements.
