BlockBeats previously reported that on July 24th, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that there were many individuals involved in the Epstein case, including his name. The White House gave conflicting responses to this report: initially releasing a statement calling it "fake news," but a White House official later told Reuters that the government did not deny Trump's name appeared in some documents, pointing out that Trump's name had already been included in a batch of materials compiled by Bondi for conservative influencers in February.

In the 1990s to the early 21st century, Trump had a close relationship with Epstein. Trump's name appeared multiple times in the flight logs of Epstein's private plane in the 1990s. The names of Trump and several family members also appeared in Epstein's contact book alongside hundreds of others. Recently, the Trump administration, contrary to its campaign promise, stated it would not release these documents, drawing strong opposition from his supporters. Trump has not been accused of any improper behavior related to Epstein. He stated that their friendship had ended before Epstein first ran into legal trouble 20 years ago.
