Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff, confirmed in a recent interview that US President Donald Trump's name appears in the 'Epstein files', but emphasised
that he was not implicated in any wrongdoing. She reffered to Trump and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein "young, single playboys" who socialised together. “[Trump] is in the file. And we know he’s in the file. And he’s not in the file doing anything awful,” she said, according to Vanity Fair. Wiles in the interview also defended Trump's inclusion in the Epstein files, saying that the president and Epstein were "young, single playboys together." Trump "was on [Epstein's] plane…he's on the manifest," she said. "They were, you know, sort of young, single, whatever—I know it's a passé word but sort of young, single playboys together."

Wiles denies Trump's claims against Clinton
Further, she refuted Trump's claims regarding Bill Clinton's alleged visits to Epstein's island, stating there is no evidence supporting those assertions. Trump has said that Clinton visited Epstein's private island, Little St. James, "supposedly 28 times," which Clinton has denied.
"There is no evidence" those visits happened, Wiles said, per Vanity Fair.
Epstein’s survivors have been sharing emotional and harrowing accounts of sexual abuse by the late convicted sex offender and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, intensifying calls for lawmakers to support the full release of documents from the Justice Department's long-running Epstein investigation.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released more than 33,000 pages of files related to Jeffrey Epstein in September.
Soon after, images and videos of the 'Phase 1 Jeffery Epstein Files' surfaced on social media, revealing some information about people close to Epstein or in contact with them at some point. Among the names mentioned in the files is former President Bill Clinton.
The government has until December 19 to release the Epstein files to the public, per a law passed by Congress and a recent court ruling.
