On Friday, Pam Bondi appointed interim US attorney Jay Clayton to head an inquiry into political adversaries of the President and their connections with Jeffrey Epstein. This move came just after the president instructed her to begin the probe.
In a statement, the Attorney General commended Jay Clayton as “one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country”. She remarked, “The department will handle this matter promptly and thoroughly to provide clarity for citizens.”
This action appears to contradict a recent memorandum from federal authorities which indicated that the Epstein files did not warrant further inquiries. According to the document, investigators “lacked sufficient evidence to pursue cases against other parties.”
This news coincides with growing pressure from the president on congressional Republicans to oppose the full release of Epstein-related documents ahead of an upcoming House vote next week. Several lawmakers are anticipated to back the disclosure.
Newly public emails from Epstein have brought attention to the president’s previous connections with the sex trafficker, including details that his knowledge of Epstein’s behavior exceeded prior admissions.
That same day, the President declared he would ask the Department of Justice to investigate connections between Epstein and Democratic figures, including prominent individuals such as Clinton, Summers, and Hoffman. Paradoxically, he also referred to the “Epstein hoax” as a “scam”.
Other notable events featured appeals to protect national parks, objections of an monitoring group, and a judge’s decision for a resolution in the Purdue Pharma lawsuit.
