On Tuesday, during a White House cabinet meeting with the press present, a reporter asked a question about the allegations that the late Jeffrey Epstein may have worked for a foreign intelligence service. President Trump’s response was, shall we say, forceful – but some may find it surprising and unsatisfying.

The question:
Reporter: Your memo and release yesterday about Jeffrey Epstein, it left some lingering mysteries. One of the biggest ones is whether he ever worked for a(n) American or foreign intelligence agency. The former Labor Secretary and Miami U.S. Attorney, Alex Acosta, he allegedly said that he did work for an intelligence agency. So, could you resolve whether or not he did? And also, could you say why there was a minute missing from the jailhouse tape?
There was some cross-talk before President Trump made this statement:
President Trump: Pam, could I just interrupt for one second? (To the reporter): Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. You’re asking… We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things, and people are still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. You want to waste the time? (To AG Bondi): You feel like answering?
AG Bondi: I don’t mind answering.
President Trump: I mean, I can’t believe you’re asking a question about Epstein, at a time like this, where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems, ah, like a desecration. But, you go ahead.
It’s easy to understand the president’s frustration. This cabinet meeting follows on the heels of a horrible natural disaster in which, as of this writing, has resulted in over a hundred fatalities and inestimable property damage. It also comes soon after the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and the lawfare that has already started up in response, as well as the recent bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, the tariffs being reimposed on a number of nations, and much more.
On the other hand, a fair number of Republican voters are frustrated that more information from the Epstein case hasn’t been made public.

AG Bondi went on to describe the details of the missing minute of jailhouse tape, which she states was due to a daily reset of the surveillance system. She also referred to many hours of “sick” video found in the investigation, which she describes as “child porn” says will never (and should never) see the light of day. She also notes that she was asked about the Epstein client list in February, and at that time, the file was on her desk for review:
…meaning the file along with the JFK MLK files, as well. That’s what I meant by that.
She went on to reply that she had no knowledge of Epstein possibly being an agent, presumably for the United States or any other power.
The Epstein case will go on being a major issue with voters. There are still many unanswered questions; there are still allegations about some pretty serious political figures’ involvement. Sooner or later, all this will have to be resolved. We can understand President Trump’s frustration at being asked about this now, given all that has happened in the last week, but there are still many outstanding questions about a case that could have enormous ramifications for the American political class.
