(New York Post) President Trump on Friday said he’d like to “release everything” the government has on notorious late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and signaled that he’s leaning against pardoning rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Trump’s remarks about the Epstein files come a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed the deceased sex offender’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, for about nine hours at a federal prison in Florida.
“I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything, but we don’t want people to get hurt that shouldn’t be hurt,” Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty.
“I want to release everything,” the president declared. “I just don’t want people to get hurt.”
“Todd went in and I think he just wants to make sure that innocent people aren’t hurt,” Trump added, noting that he hasn’t spoken with his deputy attorney general about Maxwell and doesn’t know if there are plans to release a transcript of the interview.
