White House: Trump ‘would not recommend’ special prosecutor for Epstein files

UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – President Trump rejects appointing a special prosecutor for Epstein files despite GOP pressure and orders Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury testimony, with 79% of Americans backing transparency.

  • At a Thursday White House briefing, Leavitt announced President Donald Trump would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case, citing lack of credible evidence.
  • Despite earlier promises, President Donald Trump reversed his pledge to release Epstein files amid internal and supporter pressure, impacting transparency efforts.
  • In the DOJ and FBI memo, agencies found no evidence of a secret client list, confirmed Epstein harmed over 1,000 victims, and reviewed more than 10,000 images of abuse.
  • Since the memo’s release last week, President Donald Trump’s supporters backlash grew as he called the Epstein investigation a `hoax` and refused to recommend a special prosecutor.
  • Meanwhile in Congress, House Republicans blocked a vote on releasing the Epstein files, while Speaker Mike Johnson and others call for more disclosure.
