President Trump said on Friday that he will direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s past involvement with a number of Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton.
Trump cast his decision as an effort to fight back at Democrats, who the president argued have used the disgraced financier as a weapon against his White House.
“Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,” Trump wrote in a TruthSocial post.
Summers is a former Treasure secretary under Clinton who also served as a top economic adviser to President Obama. Hoffman is the co-founder of LinkedIn and a top Democratic donor.
“This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his “Island.” Stay tuned!!!” he continued.
The announcement comes as the release of a number of documents from the Epstein estate earlier this week have taken Washington by storm. Emails released by House Democrats on Wednesday show Epstein telling associates in the 2010s that “of course” Trump knew about his relationship with underage girls and that Trump “spent hours” at Epstein’s home.
