'We're not shielding anything,' Vance says of Epstein files [View all]

Speaking in Canton, Ohio, on Monday, Vice President JD Vance was asked about the Jeffrey Epstein files and took an opportunity to defend President Donald Trump and his handling of the ongoing saga, which has caused controversy among his base. Vance went straight to Trump's defense, saying the president has been transparent about the situation.

"First of all, the president has been very clear. We're not shielding anything," Vance said. "The president has directed the attorney general to release all credible information and, frankly, to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. He's been incredibly transparent about that stuff, but some of that stuff takes time."

Vance went on to say that Attorney General Pam Bondi is currently working on the request she received from Trump, asking her to release all credible information related to the case.

"The attorney general is hard at work on that issue right now," Vance said of Bondi, adding that the task takes time. "You've got to assemble that stuff, you've got to compile that stuff, you've got to redact some victims names so that you protect the victims," he said.

She proclaimed, with a flourish, that she had them all on her desk, and would release them. Then when she released stuff, most was already released previously or was out there publicly available.

And this -

"You've got to assemble that stuff, you've got to compile that stuff, you've got to redact some victims names so that you protect the victims," he said.


His "boss" helped to CREATE victims.
