Trump and his administration recently faced scrutiny over their handling of Epstein’s sex abuse case after building up hype for the files’ release — only for the Department of Justice and FBI to say there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in jail, nor did he have a so-called “client list.”

Donald Trump was friendly for at least 15 years with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

President Donald Trump's name was mentioned nine times across the hundreds of pages in the “phase one" release of the Epstein files.
