President Donald Trump just lit up social media with a bombshell announcement: heâs calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ, and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epsteinâs connections with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, JPMorgan Chase, and âmany other people and institutions.â
This comes only hours after newly released emails from Epsteinâs estate mentioned Trump by name â and clearly, heâs firing back.
In his post, Trump wrote that investigators must figure out âwhat was going on with them, and him.â
Within hours, Bondi announced she had appointed Jay Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for SDNY, to lead the probe â putting one of the most powerful prosecutors in the country at the center of the Epstein saga.
Bondi posted on X:
âSDNYâs Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country⊠The Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people.â
But this new Trump-directed investigation comes after the DOJ and FBI already released a memo last July saying they found no âclient list,â no blackmail scheme, and no evidence to charge additional individuals tied to Epstein.
Back then, federal officials declared there was nothing more to pursue.
Now, everything is being reopened.
JPMorgan â which has repeatedly been pulled into Epstein-related lawsuits â responded quickly. A spokesperson told ABC News that the government withheld key information about Epsteinâs crimes from the bank, adding:
âWe regret any association we had with the man⊠We ended our relationship years before his arrest.â
The bank paid $290 million to Epstein survivors and $75 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2023, without admitting wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation hit back hard:
âThese emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing. The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses and shutdown failures.â
Clinton has long denied any involvement in Epsteinâs crimes â and no survivor has ever accused him of wrongdoing. Flight logs show Clinton took four major international trips on Epsteinâs plane in 2002â2003, totaling 26 legs. But none of the logs indicate he ever flew to Epsteinâs private island â and the same is true for Trump.
Even Virginia Giuffreâs past claim that she saw Clinton on the island is contradicted by Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and now emails from Epsteinâs estate, including one where Epstein insisted:
âClinton was NEVER EVER there, never.â
Trump, however, has implied since 2015 that Clintonâs travels with Epstein might raise questions.
Now, Trumpâs new investigation call comes after House Democrats released emails that mention Trump directly â including one referring to him as the âdog that hasnât barked.â Another email claimed an alleged victim spent hours at Epsteinâs house âwith Trump.â
Trump has dismissed the references, and the White House reiterated he âdid nothing wrong.â
But pressure is building in Washington.
This week, Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva became the 218th lawmaker to sign the petition forcing the DOJ to release all remaining Epstein files â crossing the threshold for a mandatory vote.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, claimed Trumpâs sudden demand for an investigation is pure panic, saying the new Epstein emails raise âserious questionsâ about Trumpâs own relationship with Epstein.
Garcia also blasted Trump for refusing to release the files and questioned why Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a âcushy, low-security prisonâ after an interview with Trumpâs former personal lawyer.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges â but the political battle over his connections is only intensifying.
đ„ And now, with Trump demanding a fresh probe into Clinton and others, the Epstein saga is heading right back into the center of American politics.
