We\u2019re not shielding anything,\u201d Vance said in response to a question from a reporter. \u201cHe\u2019s been incredibly transparent about that stuff, but some of that stuff takes time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The furor from the MAGA base over Epstein put Vance, who has in the past entertained conspiracy theories about the convicted sex offender, in a tricky position after the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) released a memo maintaining that the disgraced financier died by suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vance reportedly served as a mediator between Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino after Bongino aired quitting the week the memo was released. But he otherwise largely stayed quiet as the administration tried to contain the fallout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, several weeks later, the MAGA-verse\u2019s focus on the issue has abated, despite multiple reports from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal about Trump\u2019s ties to Epstein \u2014 findings the president has strenuously denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hill&#8217;s Headlines &#8211; July 26, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president\u2019s attempt to have grand jury transcripts about Epstein unsealed was also defeated in Florida last week, although a ruling has yet to be made in Epstein\u2019s criminal case in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ohio, Vance attempted to pin blame on anyone but the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sign up for the Morning Report<br>The latest in politics and policy.
