Former U.S. President distances himself from Epstein scandal, calls for full disclosure
News Report:
Donald Trump has said he is prepared to release a “list” of individuals connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, amid growing scrutiny over ties between high-profile figures and Epstein’s network. Trump, in a recent statement, emphasized the importance of transparency, claiming the public has a right to know “who was involved.”
The former U.S. President also clarified that he has “never considered” granting a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate who was convicted of multiple charges related to sex trafficking and exploitation of minors. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in the United States.
Trump’s remarks come as interest resurfaces around the Epstein case, with public demands for the release of names and deeper investigations into alleged abuses involving wealthy and powerful individuals. While Trump had previously been criticized for wishing Maxwell “well” in a 2020 press conference, he now appears to be distancing himself further from the scandal.
Calls for accountability and justice continue to mount, with legal experts and victims’ advocacy groups urging authorities to pursue all those who were complicit in Epstein’s crimes.
The former President’s statement adds new weight to the ongoing controversy, potentially increasing pressure on political and legal institutions to act more decisively.
