U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to release any information she deems “credible” related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, as calls for greater transparency intensify within the Republican Party.

Trump’s comments, made during a media briefing on Tuesday, marked a shift from his earlier stance in which he encouraged his supporters to “move on” from the case. The change comes amid growing demands from Republican lawmakers and conservative voices pushing for the public release of all files related to the late financier and convicted sex offender.

“She’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her,” Trump said of Bondi. “Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.”

The Epstein case continues to fuel widespread mistrust in government transparency, particularly among Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) base. Although Epstein’s 2019 death in a federal jail was ruled a suicide while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges, many believe critical information—possibly implicating powerful figures—has been concealed.

Bondi recently stated that there is “no evidence” Epstein maintained a “client list” or blackmailed high-profile individuals, a claim that drew backlash from conservative commentators and Trump loyalists. The Department of Justice and FBI followed with a joint statement reaffirming there would be no further public disclosures and reiterating that Epstein’s death had been thoroughly investigated and confirmed as suicide.

Still, demands for full disclosure have only intensified.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told conservative commentator Benny Johnson, “We should put everything out there and let the people decide. Pam Bondi needs to come forward and explain it to everybody.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene added, “I fully support transparency on this issue. Leaders and elected officials should keep their promises to voters.”

Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado went further, suggesting that a special counsel should be appointed if additional files are not released soon. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana echoed that view, telling NBC News, “The American people would like to know who Epstein trafficked those women to and why they weren’t prosecuted.”

The renewed political pressure underscores how the Epstein case remains a volatile issue within the Republican Party—one that continues to test public confidence in government institutions and accountability.
