Donald Trump isn’t a man to shy away from tough questions, and his latest interview didn’t disappoint. During a recent chat, he tackled a range of issues, offering his trademark blend of humor and straight talk. With his usual confidence, he hinted at addressing some unresolved controversies, leaving listeners intrigued but not surprised. After all, Trump has always been a man who thrives on shaking things up.
As the conversation flowed, the former president dropped a few gems about powerful figures, their shady dealings, and some high-profile events that have gripped headlines for years. If you’ve been following Trump’s career, you know he doesn’t dance around the tough topics. But just how far was he willing to go this time? Well, it’s fair to say things got interesting.
Donald Trump has said that he would not have a problem releasing the Jeffrey Epstein client list in an interview with Lex Fridman in an interview on Tuesday…

During a recent chat with Lex Fridman, Trump didn’t hold back, making it clear he’d have no problem hitting the “release” button on that elusive Epstein list. Bold move? Sure. Surprising? Not really.
The interview on Fridman’s podcast quickly turned to the Epstein saga, with Trump saying he’d be “inclined” to reveal the full client list. In classic Trump style, he added, “I’m not involved. I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did.” Well, if that doesn’t raise a few eyebrows.
Fridman didn’t waste time pressing the former president on the question that’s been on everyone’s mind for years: Why did so many “smart, powerful people” cozy up to Epstein? Trump had an answer ready, and it wasn’t flattering for those on the list. Epstein was, according to Trump, a “good salesman” who flaunted “big assets” to get people in his orbit. No word on what those assets were, but you can imagine.
Trump also mentioned that it was “interesting” how the list hasn’t been made public yet, and teased that it “probably will be, by the way.” Classic Trump — keeping us all on the edge of our seats.
Fridman went straight for the jugular, asking Trump if he would release the list. Trump didn’t hesitate. “I’d be inclined to do the Epstein thing,” he said, adding, “I’d have no problem with it.” No mincing words there.
Trump also took a little dig at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., mentioning that he’d been to Epstein’s island “many years ago.” But, according to Trump, it’s a totally different situation. Convenient, right?
Epstein’s shadow still looms large, despite his alleged suicide in 2019. The financier-turned-convicted sex offender was facing charges for sex trafficking before his sudden and suspicious demise in a jail cell. His partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently serving time in a Florida prison for her role in recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein’s horrific schemes.
And let’s not forget the big names linked to Epstein in various documents over the years. Bill Clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio, and other well-known figures have all popped up in connection to the convicted predator. But so far, no full client list has been released — a fact that keeps conspiracy theories alive and well.
Will Trump actually follow through on his casual promise to release the list? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure: if that list ever sees the light of day, it’s going to rock some very big boats.
