Meeting was attended by the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the FBI director, Kash Patel, among others
Top Trump officials reportedly met at the White House on Wednesday night to discuss strategy moving forward as the Trump administration continues to face criticism, including from Republicans, for its handling of the official files related to Jeffrey Epstein and the US president’s responses to calls for the release of all documents related to the criminal investigation into the late sex offender.
The meeting was reportedly hosted by JD Vance, with the gathering moved from the vice-president’s official residence to the White House, according to reporting by CNN. The meeting had been billed to include top Trump officials, including the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the FBI director, Kash Patel. Vance and his staff had denied that a meeting to discuss the handling of the rumbling Epstein scandal was taking place.
