The Attorney General Pam Bondi has now said she's going to address this issue with urgency, assigning the U.S.

attorney here in New York to carry out what President Donald Trump asked for in that Truth Social post, saying that he wanted not just the Department of Justice, but the FBI to investigate.

high-profile Democrats like the former President Bill Clinton, the former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, as well as financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase.

And the timing of this, of course, you can't get around.

This comes really after President Trump himself was right in the spotlight.

The White House rocked again by this latest release of Epstein files, 20,000-plus pages from the Epstein estate.

emails that raised new questions about whether Donald Trump knew more about Epstein's crimes than he let on, because in private emails, Epstein is seen calling him the dog that never barked about what he saw, saying that President Trump had spent.

hours with one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Jeffrey, in Epstein's home, saying that, of course, Donald Trump knew about the girls in another email.

And while the president has denied any wrongdoing and there's no evidence to suggest that he was a part at all of Epstein's sex trafficking operation...

The president has gone to great lengths to try to make this all go away.

He has called this a hoax.

He has rebuked lawmakers from his own party from siding with Democrats.

In fact, next week.

There will be a vote in the House of Representatives on a bill to release all of the Department of Justice's Epstein files.

And the White House had lobbied hard to get Republicans not to support that.

But nevertheless, Republicans know that this is important to Donald Trump's base, the MAGA base.

And this is not an issue that is going away.
