Karoline Leavitt Shoots Down the Prospect of Trump Appointing a Special Counsel On Epstein

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shot down the possibility of President Donald Trump appointing a special prosecutor over the Epstein case as fallout among MAGA supporters continues.

At a Thursday White House press briefing, the “Epstein Files” were brought up multiple times as the president has called it a “hoax” and lashed out at his own supporters unhappy with a Department of Justice/FBI memo concluding there is no Epstein list.

The late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein died of apparent suicide in 2019 while being charged with sex trafficking. Many supporters of the president have long pushed the idea of a client list of Epstein’s, which would feature the names of high profile people who took part in decades of alleged abuse. Attorney General Pam Bondi referenced such a list in February.

Daily Mail’s Charlie Spiering asked Leavitt about the possibility of a special prosecutor on the case following the president refusing to answer the question the day prior.

“The president said that he floated the idea of a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. Can you confirm that and has he asked the attorney general to do this? To appoint a special prosecutor to look it over?” Spiering asked.

“The idea was floated from someone into media to the president hear the president president would not recommend special prosecutor in the Epstein case. As for his discussion with attorney general, I’m not sure,” Leavitt said.

The press secretary later echoed Trump’s statement this week that he is in favor of Bondi releasing any “credible” information related to Epstein.
