The US attorney general has reported that Trump's name appears in Epstein's files, and the White House has dismissed the allegations as false.

In May, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump that his name appeared in files linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Although the White House has denounced the article as false, the revelations amplify a political crisis for Trump, given his previous friendship with Epstein. Following a backlash from his supporters, Trump requested the release of transcripts related to the case, but the request was denied. Polls show a majority of Americans believe the Trump administration is withholding information about Epstein.
