WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it will carry out President Donald Trump's request to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's alleged ties with former Democratic President Bill Clinton and U.S. bank JPMorgan (JPM.N), as Trump sought to shift the focus from his own relationship with the convicted sex offender.

The move comes two days after a congressional committee released thousands of documents that raised new questions about Trump's relationship with the late financier, and marks the latest in a series of demands by Trump for federal law enforcement to pursue his perceived political enemies. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Jay Clayton, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, will take the lead on the investigation.

The Epstein scandal has been a political thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe Bondi and other Trump officials have covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his death by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019.

Along with Clinton, who socialized with Epstein in the early 2000s, Trump said he had asked the Justice Department to investigate former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn founder who is also a prominent Democratic donor. All three men were mentioned in the 20,000 Epstein-related documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

Dumbass, if they had ANY of that, it would have been the FIRST thing released. COUNT ON IT. When Bondi declared that the files "were on her desk" and dozens or more were assigned to comb through what they had, so they would have released the worst of the worst incriminating "evidence" agasint Democrats.

THAT was the whole core of the QAnon CT and the MAGats who sucked it up.

There is NO "there" there.

don't waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run RUIN!

Fixed.

[sunflowerseed]

1. One word! "discovery"

[Ponietz]

2. Now DOJ will maintain it can't release the files in an active investigation

Trump supporters are utterly fucking stupid.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Trump is desperate, even very desperate, to hide forever what's in those files.

And we know why!

HE'S A FUCKING LIAR.

[rurallib]

4. exactly what I was going to write

he is now a cornered, desperate animal and will lash out at anything.

Look out Venezuela

[MuirHero]

32. Well said California Peggy!

[wolfie001]

5. One thing Virginia Guiffre said about BC

She called him, "A perfect gentleman." I read that over a year ago when she was granting interviews. No one can EVER say that about the fat orange imbecile predator.

[bornsunny]

16. This is what Virginia Giuffre thought of Trump...

According to the book, Trump asked Giuffre, who was 16 or 17 at the time, if she babysat. Giuffre said Trump "couldn't have been friendlier."

[padah513]

24. Yes, and he was at the island with her for hours, too, according to Epstein's emails

The island Trump said he was never at. Welcome to DU

[bornsunny]

30. Thanks for the welcome but...

Giuffre denies that she ever saw Trump and Epstein together on the island or anywhere else in sworn testimony:

[MuirHero]

33. Any thoughts on why Virginia Giuffre would lie about Trump and Epstein?

So assuming Epstein's email is factually truthful, why would Virgina Giuffre lie in sworn testimony that she never saw Epstein and Trump together? Did she lie out of fear because she was threatened?

[bornsunny]

38. I think...

Epstein's email about Trump is not factual. Epstein had every reason to lie about Trump since Trump was the only ex-associate to help prosecutors against Epstein.

[DrFunkenstein]

39. I Believe Giuffre Over Epstein

As much as I'd love to finally nail slimeball Trump to the wall for his depravity, I'm not going to twist what's been said because it doesn't suit that. I pray something else will.

[Callie1979]

41. No, he was at Epsteins house, not the island. nt

[oregonjen]

6. I thought it was a "Democrat hoax"

This pretzel twisting is ridiculous. Does his cult not see this?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Cult members are incapable of seeing the truth. n/t

[RazorbackExpat]

28. They're too busy cheering for ICE to go full Gestapo

[Bengus81]

7. LOL....fat TURD is waiting for the other shoe to drop

Trump is scared out of his skull.........

[Buddyzbuddy]

8. Quick everybody! Look over there.

I see either some travelling throughout the world in the Felon's near future or lockdown at the Whitehouse and no press.
Also, wild news events for the coming weeks, but that doesn't take Nostradamus to predict. An attack on a Country, an outrageous bill introduced in Congress, an attempt to take out an ear?

[twodogsbarking]

10. So release the files. That will help your cause punkin face.

[cstanleytech]

11. Next Trump will say he doesn't have any links to Epstein because of a bone spur.

[maxsolomon]

12. The POTUS is REQUESTING a DOJ investigation.

That's not how this is supposed to work. Can you imagine ANY Dem President doing something similar? The calamity that would ensue...

Now that just glides by without notice.

MFer has broken the nation.

[uncle ray]

13. Bubba blower says what?

14. MaddowBlog-Trump eyes federal Epstein investigation that targets his foes, but not himself

The president wants the public to see the Epstein scandal as a hoax — except the parts related to people he doesn’t like.

Trump eyes federal Epstein investigation that targets his foes, but not himself

The revelations dovetailed with Republicans on the same committee releasing a tranche of 20,000 documents it received from the Epstein estate in response to a congressional subpoena. An MSNBC report noted that some of the additional email correspondence between Epstein and his associates was “unflattering” to Trump. A related report in The New York Times summarized, in reference to the documents: “Mr. Epstein insulted Mr. Trump and hinted that he had damaging information on him.”

In the immediate aftermath of the reports, the usually talkative president had very little to say about the reporting (which includes allegations that have not been substantiated by MSNBC). The Republican published a handful of missives to his social media platform on the matter, but most focused on his appeals to GOP lawmakers to follow his lead on the scandal......

There’s no point in trying to summarize in a single blog post every error of fact and judgment in the president’s 116-word rant — the Russia scandal, for example, still isn’t a scam — but the bottom line comprises three key elements.

The first is that Trump wants federal law enforcement to initiate an investigation into a variety of prominent figures mentioned in the Epstein materials — but not himself. That’s a tough position to take seriously.

The second is that the president wants the public to see the underlying controversy as a hoax, except for the parts related to people he doesn’t like. How does Trump reconcile the obvious contraction? By ignoring it.

Finally, it’s worth emphasizing that the president continues to act as if he has decision-making authority at the Justice Department and the FBI. There is no modern precedent for a White House publicly declaring which of the president’s political foes deserve to be targeted with federal investigations, but in 2025 it has become an alarmingly common occurrence.

In late September, Trump used his platform to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after three of his perceived political enemies. In October, he did it again, adding additional names to his enemies list. On Friday morning, he barked related orders.

I cut trump's tweet/truth social post from this post. If you want to read trump's tweet/truth social post go to the article. I try not to repost trump's disgusting social media posts when I can.

[wiggs]

15. This tells me that more files will be released and that Trump is in them....again. nt

[Justice matters.]

17. If it's a "Democrat Hoax" (that's another lie), why would Dems...

Yeah, why would Dems make up hundreds of thousands of pages of doctored files to incriminate Democrats?

That's how lil kingpin pedo the felon owns the cons?

[paleotn]

20. He's a desperate man. Grasping at straws.

[keroro gunsou]

18. of course he is...

deflect, deny, project.

[paleotn]

19. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

Ignore it. Keep the proverbial knife firmly in and give it a twist. You're not getting away, Donnie. We've just begun to "crucify" you. His enemies in both parties are trickling out Epstein info. The best is yet to come.

[ificandream]

21. Just the other day, I thought I heard someone (probably on MSNBC) say Epstein said Clinton hadn't been to the island.

Of course, Repunks won't ever say that.

[padah513]

23. I heard that too

Epstein himself said it in one of his emails

[videohead5]

22. Those photos

With topless young girls sitting on his lap and no telling what else. That is what he is trying to hide. It's probably something even worse.

[Callie1979]

42. Trump with topless young girls? Thats something I haven't seen

[videohead5]

45. Yeah

Michael Wolff said that he seen them and there are other people that claim that they exist.

[fujiyamasan]

25. Height of projection

Someone sounds a little worried, eh?

This is a desperate attempt to his MAGAts in line. Pathetic pedo-fuck.

[Blue Owl]

26. You're not fooling anyone anymore, Donny

[Layzeebeaver]

27. The Turd is going "scorched earth"..

If your gonna burn all his shit down, He's burning all your shit down as well...

This should get REALLY interesting!!!

[Mr. Sparkle]

29. This is the biggest case of whataboutism, in the history of the Presidency

Another embarrassing low for the Gop

[GreenWave]

31. Epstein's estate should release any and all before Trump Crime Syndicate blocks them.

[DrFunkenstein]

34. Forget Epstein...What About Benghazi and Hunter's Laptop?

Think about this: Trump's inner circle had a massive, well-publicized brainstorm session on how to deal with the Epstein investigation - and this is what they came up with!

[BumRushDaShow]

35. "Benghazi"

A "blast from the (distant) past"!

Issa will NEVER live that down.

[Martin68]

36. Trump is floundering. His on-again-off-again approach to the Epstein scandal is so transparent that not even his most

loyal supporters really believe he is intreated in anything other than distracting the public and covering up his involvement.

[DrFunkenstein]

37. Tried to Jedi Mind Trick Supporters Into Thinking The Underage Sex Island Was "Pretty Boring Stuff"

I know he cheated on his nursing wife with a porn star when he wasn't busy fighting dozens of rape allegations, but where does he draw the line between "interesting" and "boring" - because apparently it is different than where the American people draw it.

[AllaN01Bear]

40. hey du,,

hold my pepsi whilst i laugh.

[marble falls]

43. Delay Obscure & Deny, TACOs lawyers.

[Callie1979]

44. He's doing this so he can block releasing the files. "Part of an investigation".

See how it works?

[MW67]

46. Looks like the only thing that can sink

Trump is Trump , also looks like he's doing a tremendous job at it , all his own making, been waiting a while for this to happen , making extra popcorn now.
