Is Trump Suppressing The Epstein Files? Task Force Ranking Member Garcia and Acting Ranking Member Lynch Demand the Truth for the American People

Washington, D.C. (June 5, 2025)—Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, and Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, Acting Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Kash Patel asking whether it is true that the Epstein files are being withheld because they personally implicate President Trump, as alleged in an X post by Elon Musk.   

“We write with profound alarm at allegations that files relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have not been declassified and released to the American public because they personally implicate President Trump.  On June 5, 2025, Elon Musk, the former senior advisor to the President and head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a component of the Executive Office of the President, posted on the social media platform X: ‘@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.’  We ask that you immediately clarify whether this allegation is true and respond to this letter with the requested information and documentation,” wrote Ranking Member Garcia and Acting Ranking Member Lynch.

On February 27, 2025, Attorney General Bondi released the first phase of the declassified files including multiple flight logs from Epstein’s personal plane (which showed President Trump and his family had been passengers) and contact books kept by Epstein.  These documents were subsequently released to the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets with extensive redactions.

“President Trump, by his own admission, was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein was previously a guest at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.  Any attempts to prevent the appropriate release of the Epstein files to shield the President from truth and accountability merits intense scrutiny by Congress and by the Department of Justice,” concluded the Members.

So, in that case, why doesn't he just release the files?

You sure do think about other men's sex lives a lot.

High status guys have their own personal experiences to reflect on 

Why doesn't he just release the files?

Why doesn't he just release the files, like he promised?

So he's suppressing them because he's in them?

Or do you not think the Biden's are in them anymore?
