The FBI removed Trump's name from pedophile Epstein's files

The move sparked fierce debate and the US Department of Justice publicly intervened to protect the verdict, arguing there were laws protecting privacy, lack of accusations and the need to protect ongoing investigations and the rights of individuals mentioned in the documents.

Trump was told earlier during the year that his name was mentioned in documents, but authorities said there is no evidence of criminal action. conservative supporters, including the FBI's Dan Bongino, have criticised the decision and threatened with resignations, writes ap.

After that, the Department of Justice and the FBI declared that no evidence of the existence of a “client” of Epstein, and that there will be no further file publication. According to them, Epstein died as a result of his suicide in a Manhattan prison on August 9, 2019, and there is no evidence that he had any documents to replace powerful figures.

Trump supporters, especially activists from the MAGA line, reacted harshly to this discovery. Initially a March 2025 video where the chief American prosecutor, Pam Bond, mentioned that “lists are on my table for review”, which now turned out not to exist.

Elon Musk, once a supporter of Trump, in a message written on the X platform that he had later erased, said that “is the time to publish the real bomb: Donald Trump is in Epstein's files. So they don't publish”.

The Trump dismissed Musk's claims, saying it is <x0ung old” and that there is no connection to Epstein.

In the end, this issue caused an internal rift in Trump supporters and a crisis of confidence on the promise of transparency, and many supporters are currently demanding accountability for full transparency. /Periscope/
