Reference News, July 16 - According to AFP, on July 15, U.S. President Trump tried to calm the growing controversy surrounding the Epstein case. He stated that if there are "credible" evidence regarding Epstein and his sex exploitation network, these should be made public. At the same time, many of his supporters expressed regret over the lack of transparency.
According to the report, when leaving the White House for Pennsylvania, Trump told the media that Attorney General Pam Bondi would decide to release "what she considers credible content".
Trump also defended his Attorney General. Since last week, when the Department of Justice released a memo ruling out the possibility of new developments in the Epstein case, Bondi has faced calls for her resignation.
At a press conference on the 15th, Bondi refused to give detailed comments on the possibility of releasing new documents. She responded, "Our memo itself speaks for itself."
The report said, as an indication that pressure on Trump and his government is increasing, House Speaker Mike Johnson called for the release of the case files and stated support for the principle of "transparency".
This prominent Republican Congress member told conservative podcast host Benny Johnson: "We should put all the information in the public eye so the people can make their own judgment."
On the 12th, Trump called on his supporters on his "Truth Social" platform not to "waste time and energy on Epstein, as no one cares about this guy." Rarely, on this usually supportive social platform, the majority of comments under the post criticized the statement. (Translated by Liu Zhuo)
