The controversy over President Donald Trump’s handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation entered a new dimension Thursday as his administration struggles to make good on its promises to release details on the sex trafficking case involving a one-time friend of the now-president.

President Trump is threatening to sue The Wall Street Journal for reporting on his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while calling for some additional Epstein files to be made public.

The FBI and DOJ said they do not plan to make future public disclosures related to their review of Epstein's case, stoking outrage among Trump's most vocal supporters.

Controversy has recently beset the White House, DOJ, and FBI, since the FBI/DOJ released a memo saying it had no evidence suggesting that Epstein didn’t kill himself or was blackmailing prominent individuals.

After Trump described the Epstein saga as a "hoax," Musk wrote: "Wow I can’t believe Epstein killed himself before realizing it was all a hoax."

President Donald Trump will not push for Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate his administration’s management of the Jeffrey Epstein files, as the controversy consumes Congress and his MAGA base.

President Trump "would not recommend" that Attorney General Pam Bondi appoint a special prosecutor to handle the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

President Donald Trump outraged many of his supporters after the Justice Department published an unsigned memo saying it would not release any more documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Calls for transparency on Epstein came from several Republicans on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. And Trump's own former vice president, Mike Pence, called for the administration to "release all of the files" regarding the Epstein investigation.
