'We Screwed Up': JD Vance On Trump Administration's Communication Over Epstein Files
Vice President JD Vance admitted the Trump administration 'absolutely screwed up' communications on the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Vance criticized former Attorney General Pam Bondi for overstating what the administration had, including a claim that an Epstein 'client list' was on her desk.
The Justice Department under Bondi released binders labeled 'The Epstein files: Phase 1' and 'Declassified' to conservative commentators.
Vance said the mishandling led to public mistrust, but denied it was an attempt to hide information.
Congress passed a measure compelling release of Epstein-related documents, which began in late December 2025.
