Reference News Network, July 9 report - According to the U.S. "Newsweek" website on July 8, Elon Musk said that "exposing" documents related to Jeffrey Epstein would be the top priority of his newly established political party, named "The United States Party."

This billionaire and former close ally of President Trump has been strongly criticizing the Trump administration after the Department of Justice concluded that there was no credible evidence showing the disgraced financier and pedophile Epstein had a "client list" used for blackmailing well-known people.

Musk asked on the social media platform X on August 8: "How could people trust him if Trump does not expose the Epstein files?" Later, an X user asked: "Will exposing the Epstein files be at the top of the priorities of 'The United States Party'?" Musk replied with a "100" emoji.

What You Need to Know:

Trump had listed exposing the Epstein files as a campaign promise, but the memo released by the Department of Justice on July 7 stated that Epstein committed suicide in his cell in Manhattan in 2019, and no evidence of the so-called "client list" was found.

The Department of Justice also released surveillance footage, claiming it proved that Epstein died in prison, but this video was missing a one-minute segment.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is under pressure over this memo issued by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Previously, an interview on Fox News Channel was resurfaced, in which she seemed to imply that the "client list" of Epstein was on her desk waiting for review.

When asked about this controversy at a White House press conference, Trump tried to end the topic. He said, "You're still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This person has been talked about for years."

Previously, Musk had accused Trump of not disclosing the Epstein files because the name of the president himself was also on the list. This accusation stemmed from a heated argument between the two men over the "Big and Beautiful Act." Musk later said he had been too harsh in his words.

The "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement still holds doubts about the Department of Justice's investigation results.

According to AFP on July 8, the Trump administration announced on July 7 that it would not release any new materials about financier Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking network. Many conservative public figures criticized the government for lack of transparency, as this was something Trump had promised before.

Some prominent figures of the MAGA movement have been active on social networks for years, demanding the release of materials hidden by the government. When Trump returned to the White House in January, he promised to "lift the veil on this disgusting incident."

The government's announcement on July 7 sparked outrage on social networks. Prominent pro-Trump figure Alex Jones said, "This is absolutely disgusting." Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the Department of Justice of wanting to "silence" the truth and "disrespect the public."

Renowned MAGA movement figure Mike Chernov directly addressed Trump. He said on X: "No one believes in the cover-ups about the Epstein case. This is also something you need to continue. Now is still a time when change can be made!" (Translated by Wu Mei, Lu Longjun)
