Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Donald Trump in May that his name is mentioned in the files of disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

According to senior officials who spoke with the outlet, the president was told his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files, along with other prominent individuals. The mention of Trump’s name is not evidence of wrongdoing, the outlet noted, as Epstein sought the attention of many high-profile clients during his years as a financial adviser.

The White House immediately responded to the Journal’s story in an official statement to Newsmax saying, “The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about.”
