Donald Trump has reportedly not fired Pam Bondi or Kash Patel over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files because he does not "want to create a bigger spectacle."

One of President Donald Trump’s most persistent legal foes is going after the Epstein files. Norm Eisen—the former White House ethics chief under former President Barack Obama and a longtime critic of Trump—has filed a sweeping Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation hand over any files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that may reference the former president.

Forcing disclosure of the materials from the investigations was delayed, to the consternation of many GOP and Dem voters, but they will have to come to a decision on their return from recess. The question becomes what the lawmakers can -- or will -- do.

The reversal comes amid growing backlash from those within Trump's base over the DOJ's unsigned memo last week saying there is no supposed Epstein client list

The president is visiting the country to meet with Scottish leaders and celebrate the opening of a golf course at Trump International Golf Links, which is near Scotland’s coastal city of Aberdeen.

Despite Trump’s promise to reveal the convicted sex offender’s client list if he won re-election, the FBI and Department of Justice released a statement earlier this month saying the Epstein files actually do not exist.

President Donald Trump has claimed that he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein after he “stole” staff from him. The president appeared to suggest he threw the late paedophile financier out of his Mar-a-Lago club and did not talk to him “for years” after he poached people who worked for him.

Trump's remarks were his latest effort to distance himself from the political furor over his administration's handling of files related to Epstein's case and renewed questions over his past relationship with the disgraced financier,
