Trump had long accused the Biden administration of hiding a list of Epstein clients. In March, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had a "truckload" of Epstein files to review and potentially release.

Senator Ron Wyden has found that four banks waited until Mr. Epstein’s arrest on federal charges to flag $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions. Mr. Wyden wants the documents made public.

President Donald Trump escalated his attacks against members of his MAGA base who are imploring his administration to be more transparent regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump described Republicans criticizing him and Attorney General Pam Bondi for overpromising and underdelivering on the federal government’s files on the Epstein investigations as “stupid.

The president also said "only really bad people" want to stoke theories about the well-connected sex offender.
