President Donald Trump said he is willing to appoint a special prosecutor to review how the Department of Justice handled the Jeffrey Epstein case, veteran journalist John Solomon reported after interviewing the president on 16 July. Trump told Solomon he “wants the answers like everyone” and has “nothing to hide,” adding that an outside counsel could investigate the 2008 non-prosecution agreement as well as subsequent federal actions related to the late financier. Trump indicated the mandate could be broader than the Epstein matter. In the interview, he suggested the same prosecutor should examine what he called a decade of FBI and intelligence-community “weaponization” against his campaigns and presidency, echoing Republican claims of political bias dating back to the 2016 election. To support the inquiry, Trump said he would authorize the release of two classified annexes—one tied to the Justice Department inspector general’s review of the Hillary Clinton email probe and another from Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the origins of the Russia investigation. The statements come as conservative figures intensify calls for greater transparency around the Epstein files and related government decisions.
