But many in Trump’s Make America Great Again (Maga) movement have theorised that details of the well-connected convicted paedophile’s crimes have been withheld in order to protect influential figures, or intelligence agencies.
On Tuesday, Trump praised his attorney general’s handling of the matter, saying: “She’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.”
When asked by a journalist if the attorney general had told Trump whether his name appeared in any of the records, he said: “No, no.”
Later on Tuesday, the president again called for the release of “credible” information, but he questioned the enduring fascination with the Epstein case, calling it “sordid but boring”.
“Only really bad people, including the fake news, want to keep something like this going,” Trump said.
Last week he vented frustration in the Oval Office about the fixation on Epstein and urged everyone to move on.
But some Republican allies of the president are not letting go of the matter.
In an interview on Tuesday with US conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Speaker Johnson said that he trusted President Trump and his team, and that the White House was privy to facts that he did not know.
But he said Bondi “needs to come forward and explain it to everybody”.
“We should put everything out there and let the people decide,” Johnson said in an interview.
Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told Benny Johnson in a separate interview on Tuesday: “I fully support transparency on this issue.”
She praised Bondi’s work as attorney general, but said that leaders and elected officials should keep their promises to voters.
