Justice Department officials told President Donald Trump earlier this year that his name, among others, appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein documents, according to a report.
Attorney General Pam Bondi informed the president in May that his name appeared in the documents, senior officials told the Wall Street Journal. His name was one of many high-profile figures in the files, the outlet reported.
However, a mention in the file does not mean there was wrongdoing. One official told the outlet that hundreds of names are in the documents.
“This is another fake news story, just like the previous story by The Wall Street Journal,” White House communications director Steven Cheung told the paper.
Last week, the Journal published a report claiming that Trump gave Epstein a 50th birthday card containing a sexually suggestive drawing and a message suggesting the men shared “secrets.” The president vehemently denied the claims and sued the paper and its owners for $10 billion.
During the May meeting, Trump was told that DOJ officials didn’t plan to release any more documents related to investigation because the material contained child pornography and victims’ personal information, the outlet reported. The president then said he would defer to the Justice Department’s decision against making any further disclosures.
