Trump calls Epstein case ‘boring’, says only ‘bad people’ want it pursued | World News

US President Donald Trump has dismissed the secretive investigation into Jeffrey Epstein as “boring” and only of interest to “bad people,” even as pressure mounts from his own MAGA base to release details of the case. The US President, who is facing growing backlash over suspicions that his adminration is shielding powerful names tied to the convicted sex offender, insed he supports releasing any “credible” information.
“I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody,” Trump told reporters Tuesday night when asked about his supporters’ obsession with the matter. “It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going.”
He added: “But credible information, let them give it. Anything that is credible, I would say, let them have it.”

Trump’s comments come amid escalating demands for transparency from within the Republican party. Many conservatives believe the adminration is suppressing Epstein-related documents to protect elites — some of whom were close to the late financier.

The controversy flared again last week when the Justice Department concluded that Epstein died suicide in 2019 while in federal custody, and stated there was no l of clients to be made public.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously claimed Epstein’s client l was “sitting on my desk right now to review,” has become a particular focus of MAGA anger.
Adding to the internal pressure, even Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said on Fox News: “I do think that there needs to be more transparency on this.”
On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson also broke ranks, calling for the Justice Department to release Epstein documents. “It’s a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it,” Johnson told rightwing podcaster Benny Johnson. “I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.”
