The Department of Justice denied the latest media operation in the Epstein case

This week, rags like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal published articles providing details of an alleged meeting that took place in May between Trump and his attorney general, where the official informed the president that his name appeared in the Epstein case documents.

These articles are part of a Democratic press operationaimed at linking Trump—by any means possible—to the criminal activities of the pedophile financier.

Such is this ambition that the Journal went so far as to claim without presenting a single piece of evidence that Trump wrote a suggestive birthday letter to Epstein in 2003.

The rag refuses to publish the alleged letter so that readers can verify its authenticity and was sued for defaming the president recently. 

The Department of Justice's response

Alerted by this operation, the Department of Justice issued a statement this Thursday clarifying the facts.  

"As part of our routine briefing session, we informed the president of the findings," Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a joint statement. Both prosecutors  concluded that  there was nothing in the files to justify any further investigation or indictment. 

It was already known that Trump's name appeared in documents related to this case, which doesn't necessarily imply misconduct.

Both tycoons, connected to the world of finance and New York high society, socialized in the early 2000s until Trump cut off this relationship upon learning of Epstein's illegal activities.

Trump expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago

In 2007, an investigation by the Miami Herald revealed that the Republican tycoon revoked Epstein's membership at Mar-a-Lago after learning that the financier had harassed the teenage daughter of a member of Trump's golf club.

The president confirmed this event in 2020, stating that he "was not a fan" of Epstein and that he expelled him from Mar-a-Lago, adding that they had not spoken in the last 15 years.

Bradley Edwards, attorney for a dozen victims of the financier's trafficking network, praised the attitude the Republican had toward his clients, stating that when the legal case was still in its early stages Trump was the only one who offered to cooperate.

"The only thing I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009, when I sent many subpoenas to many people I wanted to talk to, was the only person who picked up the phone and said I'll tell you what you need to know," the attorney stated. 

The government orders its prosecutors to get to the truth of the case

Epstein was found dead at age 66 in what was ruled a suicide in his cell at a Manhattan police station in 2019. News of his death became known weeks after he had been charged with extremely serious crimes such as child trafficking. 

Meanwhile, while Joe Biden was president, the details of the apparent suicide were not released, with federal prosecutors being ordered to bring Ghislaine Maxwell to trial, whom the Democratic government accused of being the main accomplice in her ex-boyfriend's operations. 

Trump instructed Deputy Attorney General Blanche to interview Maxwell in the coming days with the idea that Epstein's accomplice may not have told everything she knows about the case, especially regarding the clients who frequented this trafficking network.

Simultaneously, the White House is pressuring the various courts in the country that investigated this trafficking network to declassify the documents in their possession, a move that was already blocked by a federal judge appointed by Obama days ago.
