Recent allegations published by the Wall Street Journal regarding former President Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein have created a legal challenge for the former president. According to legal experts, disproving these claims would require Trump to provide testimony under oath about his relationship with the convicted sex offender.

The White House is not denying that President Donald Trump's name appears in the files associated with financier Jeffrey Epstein, an administration official told Reuters on Wednesday. The official said the fact of Trump's name appearing in the files had been acknowledged in briefing binders that were shared with influencers.
