What Did Donald Trump Say About Releasing The Epstein Files While On The Lex Friedman Show? (8/11/25)

In the September 2024 episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast, Donald Trump discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s confidential files and client list. He stated that, if re‑elected, he would have “no problem” releasing additional Epstein‑related documents and said he would “probably” make the client list public—positioning the release as a matter of transparency subject to his re‑election.

That promise—to “have no problem” unsealing the Epstein files if re-elected, voiced on the Lex Fridman podcast—now rings hollow given his administration’s actions. Despite that pledge, no substantive new revelations have been made. The Department of Justice, led by AG Pam Bondi, released heavily redacted materials in February and claimed there’s no client list—an assertion that infuriated many supporters and was declared “a lot of redacted nothing” by critics. Even under mounting pressure—including subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee and investigations into Clinton, Comey, and others—the administration has shifted from transparency to deflection, labeling the entire Epstein files saga a “Democratic hoax” and telling supporters not to dwell on it.
