The US Justice Department has informed President Donald Trump that his name appears in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, CNN reported. Attorney General Pam Bondi briefed Trump in May, noting the references were based on unverified hearsay.
Officials stressed that many public figures are named in the records and that inclusion alone does not suggest wrongdoing. Bondi confirmed no credible “client list” or evidence contradicting Epstein’s suicide was found.
The White House dismissed the report as “fake news,” and officials said the documents offered no new information about Trump’s past social ties with Epstein, according to CNN.
