WASHINGTON (WBAP/KLIF) – President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to investigate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with key Democrats and banks. The directive comes after release of some Epstein estate emails that could appear to implicate Trump’s relationship with Epstein, including one to his aide Ghislaine Maxwell that states Trump “knew about the girls”.
Trump has responded by stating “…Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and of all their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him”, Trump posted in a lengthy statement; adding; “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats”.
Bondi responded to the post a few hours later on X, saying she was assigning the task to Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
JPMorgan Chase was Epstein’s banker for 15 years, and has settled lawsuits from his victims and the U.S. Virgin Islands alleging the bank facilitated his sex trafficking enterprise. The victims’ suit was settled for $290 million, and the U.S.V.I. suit was settled for $75 million. The settlements did not involve admissions of liability.
Epstein died in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.
