BlockBeats News, August 2 — Trump stated that he "hopes to release all documents related to the Epstein case," but does not want anyone to be harmed or implicated as a result. Trump also said that if those holding the documents truly had any information related to him, it should have been made public before the presidential election.

As previously reported by BlockBeats, on July 29, former U.S. President Trump said he "never had the honor" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island. Trump stated that he declined Epstein's invitation and called it a wise decision. Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from Epstein in the past.

On July 24, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi had informed Trump in May that there were many individuals involved in the Epstein files, including his name. After this report was published, the White House issued conflicting responses: initially releasing a statement calling it "fake news," but later, a White House official told Reuters that the administration did not deny Trump's name appeared in some of the documents, and pointed out that Trump's name had already been included in a batch of materials Bondi compiled for conservative influencers in February.

Trump was friendly with Epstein from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and Trump's name appeared multiple times in the flight logs of Epstein's private jet during the 1990s. The names of Trump and several of his family members also appeared in Epstein's contact book, alongside hundreds of others.
