Vice President JD Vance's office has denied reports of a scheduled meeting at his residence to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein files, calling the claims 'pure fiction'. The denial comes after CNN reported that Vance would host a strategy session with top administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, to manage the fallout from the Epstein controversy.
A source familiar with the administration's plans told the Daily Mail that a meeting would take place at the Vice President's residence, but that Vance would not lead the discussion. However, William Martin, Communications Director to the Vice President, stated: 'There was never a supposed meeting scheduled at the Vice President’s residence to discuss Epstein Strategy.' The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
The controversy has intensified as MAGA supporters accuse President Trump of a 'cover-up' for not releasing full Epstein documents. Trump has dismissed the issue as a 'hoax' by Democrats. Meanwhile, Bondi has demanded grand jury transcripts be unsealed, and officials are weighing whether to release transcripts of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's nine-hour meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, who told Blanche that Trump never did anything harmful in her presence.
The family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a deceased Epstein survivor, has called for survivors to be heard and consulted before any document release. Democrats have targeted Vance, who previously supported releasing all Epstein-related documents, as the controversy threatens his expected 2028 presidential run.
