Lara Trump says the Trump administration will “probably” release more Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. She cited President Trump’s frustration and intent to “set things right,” echoing conservative calls for transparency. Meanwhile, Trump took to Truth Social to defend AG Pam Bondi and blame renewed Epstein attention on political enemies including Obama and Clinton.
Why it matters

What Lara Trump said
- “There needs to be more transparency. I think that will happen.”
- “This is important to the President. He is frustrated.”
- “To anyone worked up out there, there is no plot to keep this information away.”

Catch up quick
- AG Pam Bondi stated last week that there is “no Epstein list.”
- Trump responded on Truth Social, defending Bondi and attacking critics.
- He called Epstein focus “a distraction by Radical Left Lunatics.”
What Trump is saying
The bigger picture
- Trump claimed the Epstein files were created by “Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, and Brennan.”
- He said it’s another hoax like the Steele dossier or the “Laptop from Hell.”
- Conservatives are split: some want full release of Epstein documents; others say it’s political bait.
Between the lines
Trump is reinforcing a long-standing MAGA narrative: that investigations and media narratives are tools to derail his second term and discredit allies like Bondi and Patel.
What’s next
- More pressure from conservative voters and influencers for full release of Epstein documents.
- Potential additional statements from Lara Trump, Kash Patel, or Bondi.
- Political risk if the administration appears to backtrack on transparency pledges.
Zoom out
Trump reiterated that the DOJ should prioritize election-related investigations instead of chasing “Epstein conspiracies.”
