Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declined to comment on why former President Joe Biden didn’t release the Epstein files while Democrats controlled the presidency.
Leading Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says President Donald Trump should release the Epstein files, but is silent on why former President Joe Biden did not anytime in his four years in the Oval Office.
Democrats have seized on the issue since the case became a political controversy for the Trump administration. However, despite their current calls for transparency on the case, the Biden Justice Department also failed to release additional documents on Epstein.
Asked by Fox News Digital whether she thought the Trump administration should release the Epstein files, former House Speaker Pelosi responded, «Absolutely.»
Fox News Digital then asked, «Why do you think Biden didn’t do it for four years?» to which Pelosi simply turned around and began walking away.

Fox News Digital pressed, «Do you know why they didn’t do it? Do you think they should have?» However, Pelosi ignored the reporter and stepped into a car.
Pelosi served as House speaker, one of the most powerful positions in the country, from 2019 to 2023, two of those years occurring when Biden was in the Oval Office.
Other Democrats have similarly struggled to answer why a president of their party did not release the files as they demand action now.
On Thursday, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., was pressed on the issue by «Morning Joe» co-host Joe Scarborough, but he could not give an answer.
