The U.S. Department of Justice informed President Donald Trump in May that his name appears several times in the "Epstein documents," along with other names, as part of the investigation into the pedophile case of the man who died in prison. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal citing official administration sources. It is claimed that while the department's team and Attorney General Pam Bondi were reviewing the case documents, they came across the president's name. However, it was noted that the appearance of his name on the lists does not indicate any offense and was not the focus of the briefing.
