"Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country," Bondi wrote in the post. "As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people."

"We regret any association we had with the man but did not help him commit his heinous acts," Trish Wexler, head of policy and advocacy communications at JPMorgan Chase & Co., wrote in a statement. "We ended our relationship with him years before his arrest on sex trafficking charges."
In another email, Epstein wrote to Michael Wolff, explaining Trump "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop."

"The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover," Garcia wrote in a statement. "These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the president."
