Former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the growing scrutiny surrounding Pam Bondi and her reported knowledge of materials related to Jeffrey Epstein. In a recent statement, Trump said that Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, should “release whatever she thinks is credible” regarding the Epstein case and any information that could shed light on ongoing public concerns.
Trump’s comments come amid renewed interest in the Epstein investigation, particularly after Bondi was mentioned in connection with potential evidence or insights linked to the late financier’s alleged crimes and network. While Trump did not go into detail, his remarks signaled that he supports greater transparency, at least to the extent Bondi deems appropriate.
“She’s a smart person, very capable,” Trump said. “If she has information she believes is credible and helpful to the public or to law enforcement, she should absolutely release it.”
Pam Bondi has not confirmed whether she possesses any new or unreleased evidence concerning Epstein, but sources close to the situation suggest that she may have been in contact with individuals connected to the investigation. The nature of that contact remains unclear, and Bondi has not commented publicly in detail.
Trump’s relationship with both Epstein and Bondi has drawn attention in the past. He was once photographed with Epstein at social events, though he has repeatedly stated that he distanced himself from Epstein years before the financier’s arrest and subsequent death in jail. As for Bondi, she served as one of Trump’s impeachment defense lawyers and is considered a loyal ally.
The former president’s statement is being interpreted by some as an attempt to shift pressure or scrutiny away from himself and toward a broader call for disclosure. Political analysts note that Trump has often used similar language when addressing controversies that touch on his past associations, aiming to appear supportive of truth without making direct acknowledgments.
Public calls for the release of all materials related to Epstein’s associates, clients, and operations have intensified, especially following the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell. Many believe that powerful individuals may have eluded justice, and any new credible evidence could reignite investigations.
Meanwhile, Bondi remains silent on what, if anything, she may reveal. Her last public appearance did not touch on the Epstein matter, and her team has not responded to requests for comment.
Legal experts say that if Bondi does have credible information related to Epstein, she could potentially face legal and ethical obligations to report it, depending on how the information was obtained and its relevance to ongoing cases. Some are urging her to testify or release a public statement clarifying her role and knowledge.
Trump’s endorsement of disclosure — if qualified — adds a political layer to an already charged issue. As election season nears, figures connected to the Epstein case may find themselves under new scrutiny, whether fairly or as part of political maneuvering.
For now, the public remains in wait-and-see mode. Whether Bondi chooses to come forward or remain silent may depend on legal counsel, political calculations, or both. But with Trump now on record urging disclosure of “whatever she thinks is credible,” pressure is likely to mount.
