Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said there is no evidence that former President Donald Trump committed a crime connected to Jeffrey Epstein, pushing back against renewed speculation surrounding the long-running federal investigation.

Bondi made the remarks during a televised appearance, where she addressed questions about Trump’s past social ties to Epstein and the broader controversy that continues to swirl around unsealed documents tied to the disgraced financier.

“There is no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing by Donald Trump in the Epstein case,” Bondi said, adding that public assumptions should not replace verified findings from investigators.

Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges involving minors, died in custody later that year while awaiting trial. His death was ruled a suicide by the New York City medical examiner, though it sparked years of conspiracy theories and political finger-pointing.

Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York detailed the charges against Epstein in a formal indictment that accused him of operating a sex trafficking scheme spanning years. According to the official announcement published by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, Epstein allegedly recruited underage girls and paid them for sexual acts.

Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s, a relationship documented in photographs and media reports from that era. However, Trump has repeatedly denied involvement in any criminal conduct tied to Epstein’s activities and has stated that he cut ties with Epstein years before his arrest.
