JD Vance is the Vice-President of the USA. He talks about mistakes. It is about files on Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was a bad sexual offender. He forced people into sex. This was a crime ring.
Vance says: The government made mistakes. The communication was bad. He said this in a podcast. He says: We did not hide anything. These were just wrong claims.
The government wanted to protect Donald Trump. He should not have links to the scandal. Justice Minister Pam Bondi left her job. She said wrong things about the files.
Kathryn Ruemmler also has problems. She worked for Barack Obama before. She did not tell the truth to politicians. She knew Epstein better than she says.
The state New Mexico wants to see the files now. These files should be complete. They should have no black lines. The US Justice Ministry says no. The law forbids this. The protection of victims is important.
