Trump: Hope to release all documents related to the Epstein case.

On August 2, Trump stated that he "hopes to release all documents related to the Epstein case," but does not want anyone to be harmed or implicated as a result. Trump also mentioned that if those who have the documents truly possess information related to him, it should have been disclosed before the presidential election. BlockBeats previously reported that on July 29, President Trump stated that he had "never had the privilege" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. Trump said he declined Epstein's invitation and called it a wise decision. Previously, Trump had repeatedly distanced himself from Epstein. On July 24, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that there were many individuals involved in the Epstein files, including his name. The White House made contradictory responses after the report was published: initially releasing a statement calling it "fake news," but a White House official later told Reuters that the government did not deny Trump's name appearing in some documents, pointing out that Trump's name had already been included in a batch of materials compiled by Bondi for conservative influencers in February. Trump had a friendship with Epstein from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and Trump's name appeared multiple times in the flight logs of Epstein's private jet in the 1990s. The names of Trump and several of his family members also appeared in Epstein's contact book, alongside hundreds of others.
