Trump says he’s asking Justice Department to investigate Epstein’s ties to slew of high-profile figures (www.cnn.com)

President Donald Trump said Friday he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to many other high-profile figures, in an extraordinary step that comes just days after Democrats released emails from the late Epstein that mention him.

Trump announced the directive in a Truth Social post that accused Democrats of trying to revive attention to his past ties with Epstein, contending they are “using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures.”

“I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,” Trump wrote.

The move represents the president’s most significant effort yet to discredit the push by Democrats and some Republicans to release all of the Epstein case files, and to divert focus away from himself.

I don't think he made it. I've been in the tunnels under both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, no frozen head to be found. RIP Walt.
