Vice President JD Vance pushed back against criticism of the Trump administration\u2019s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, accusing Democrats of political opportunism and failing to act when they held power in an interview released on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Trump has demanded full transparency from this. And yet somehow the Democrats are attacking him and not the Biden administration, which did nothing for four years,\u201d Vance told Fox News\u2019 \u201cSunday Morning Futures\u201d, defending the administration\u2019s approach to the unreleased documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI laugh at the Democrats who are now all of a sudden, so interested in the Epstein files. For four years Joe Biden, the Democrats did absolutely nothing about this story,\u201d Vance added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires,\u201d he claimed, adding that Democratic political leaders \u201cwent to Epstein Island all the time.\u201d Vance did not give more details or provide evidence of that allegation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance\u2019s comments come amid renewed public pressure to unseal documents related to the Epstein case after the Justice Department announced in a memo last month that there was no evidence the accused sex trafficker kept a \u201cclient list\u201d or that he was murdered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Fox News interview aired, clips of Vance\u2019s remarks gained traction across social media, with users across the political spectrum posting: \u201cRelease the Epstein files!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vice president reiterated that full disclosure remains a goal of the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe president has said very clearly, because we\u2019ve had other meetings about that, is that he wants us to be fully transparent,\u201d Vance said. \u201cSo we\u2019re working to compile the thousands and thousands of documents that are out there for full transparency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Justice Department told two federal judges Friday it wants to release grand jury exhibits in Epstein case, in addition to transcripts, with \u201cappropriate redactions of victim-related and other personal identifying information.\u201d However, it\u2019s unclear how much information in the grand jury transcripts and evidence is already not in the public sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance also denied that the Epstein files were the subject of a meeting previously reported by CNN, held at the White House last week<\/a> between Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, the vice president and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe did meet at the White House,\u201d Vance said. \u201cWe have a great FBI director and a great Department of Justice lead, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and we met to talk about how to ensure we have justice for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe actually didn\u2019t talk about the Epstein issue,\u201d Vance added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance and his office denied on Wednesday that a meeting on Epstein was taking place, as CNN previously reported, but a source familiar with the logistics of the meeting said the attendees discussed a number of topics, including the Epstein case and potential next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump administration officials are weighing whether to publish an audio recording and transcript of Blanche\u2019s recent conversation with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, CNN previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee last week issued a dozen subpoenas<\/strong><\/a> to the Justice Department and high-profile Democratic and Republican figures for files and information related to Epstein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
