VP JD Vance Hosts Trump Officials to Discuss Epstein Case Strategy

News summary

Vice President JD Vance is hosting a strategy dinner at his residence with senior Trump administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, to discuss the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and whether to release recordings and transcripts of Blanche's recent nine-hour interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. The administration faces mounting public and political pressure to be transparent about the Epstein investigation, including calls to unseal grand jury transcripts, despite Maxwell's legal efforts to block the release and appeal her 20-year sentence. The meeting aims to craft a unified response amid internal frustrations and public scrutiny, while balancing the need to protect victims’ identities through redactions. The Epstein scandal continues to draw attention within the Trump administration's base and among congressional oversight efforts, with subpoenas issued for related documents and testimonies from prominent figures. Additionally, revelations about Epstein’s prolonged membership at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club have fueled doubts about President Trump’s claims of cutting ties with Epstein. Discussions about potential press conferences or public disclosures, including on the Joe Rogan podcast, are also underway as the administration seeks to manage the fallout.
