Epstein Files Resurface As Trump Aide Confirms His Name Appears In Records

The Epstein Files controversy has resurfaced in Washington, this time exposing internal strains within Donald Trump’s administration. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has confirmed that Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files and flight logs, while clarifying that he is not accused or implicated in any crimes. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Wiles also made candid remarks about Trump’s personality and criticised key figures including Vice President JD Vance and billionaire Elon Musk. Trump later defended Wiles, while she issued a clarification on X, saying her remarks were taken out of context. The episode has reignited debate over transparency and leadership inside the White House.
