Bondi should release 'credible' Epstein files, Trump says

President Donald Trump comments on the Jeffrey Epstein case files amid controversy over DOJ and FBI closing their investigation, contradicting Attorney General Pam Bondi's claims about having a "truckload" of information.

"He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is. I really don't, and the credible information's been given," Trump said of Epstein's case files.

Trump added, "It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring."

Bondi also faced numerous questions from reporters on Tuesday during an event about fentanyl. The attorney general repeatedly said she did not want to address off-topic questions but at one point did say she stood by the DOJ and FBI memo.

"Today our memo speaks for itself, and we will get back to you about anything else," Bondi said.

She also declined to talk about "personnel matters" when asked about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's status. Bongino was "enraged" by the memo rollout and considered resigning, sources told Fox News Digital last week.
