10. Trump and others were being blackmailed by Epstein
Tue Jan 13, 2026, 01:07 PM
Tuesday

We know this because Pam Bondi stood there and said there was no client list and nobody was being blackmailed. Everything they say is the opposite of the truth.

That's primarily what they don't want out. As others have posted, it goes very far and wide as to who was being blackmailed. Its my belief many have offered Trump large sums of money to keep it under wraps. Given that "everybody" says there is nothing in the files that indicate crimes by Trump, this is about the only legitimate explanation as to why he is trying so hard to not release it all.
