Trump news at a glance: White House claims ‘fake news’ as president faces fresh Epstein claims | Trump administration
Donald Trump faces an extended crisis in the midst of a report claiming that his name appears in the files of the American Ministry of Justice on Jeffrey Epstein as testimony of the Congress to Epstein Ghiswell Congress on Epstein Ghislaine.
The White House sought to minimize relations between the American president and the disgrace financier while the spokesman of Trump denied an account in the Wall Street Journal that the president was informed in May by the Attorney General Pam Bondi which he is appointed in Epstein files. The report indicates that the president has been informed that many other high -level figures have also been appointed and that being mentioned in the files is not a sign of reprehensible acts.
“The fact is that the president expelled him from his club to be a flupit,” said spokesperson Steven Cheung. “It is nothing more than a continuation of the false news concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”
A federal judge, on the other hand, rejected a request from the Ministry of Justice to descend transcripts of the Grand Jury linked to Epstein.
