The revelation that Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump that his name was in the Jeffrey Epstein files has focused fresh attention on the president's relationship with the wealthy financier and the Justice Department's announcement this month that it would not be releasing any additional documents from the

The news Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump back in May that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files isn’t that surprising, in context.

Yet as Trump has backed away from his promises of disclosure on Epstein, Maga commentators have started to turn on him. The disgraced former general Mike Flynn, a sometime ally who has become a political commentator, posted on social media reminding the president – in capital letters – that the “EPSTEIN AFFAIR IS NOT GOING AWAY”.

Trump is among other prominent figures named in the previously unsealed documents. He was mentioned in a 2016 deposition from Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s victims, who said the disgraced financier’s plane made an impromptu stop in Atlantic City in the 2000s.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Trump reportedly told CNN after it contacted him to ask about newly surfaced photographs showing Epstein attending Trump’s 1993 wedding to his second wife, Marla Maples, at The Plaza hotel in New York.

The two socialized together frequently in New York City and Palm Beach from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. In 2002, Trump praised Epstein to a reporter as a “terrific guy” — and curiously added that he “likes beautiful women” on “the younger side.”

A year ago, we scrubbed the public record. Here are our updated findings. “It’s all been a hoax that’s perpetrated by the Democrats. And some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net.”

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein appeared to be friends in the 90s and early 2000s, but had not spoken for 15 years before Epstein's death.

Newly surfaced photos reveal how Jeffrey Epstein was a guest at President Donald Trump’s star-studded wedding to Marla Maples in 1993. The now-notorious pedophile was caught in the background of a picture taken of radio personality Howard Stern,
