When asked about a reported meeting between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and senior Trump Administration officials — including Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel — allegedly aimed at persuading Boebert not to sign a petition demanding the full release of the Epstein Files, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded:

“Doesn’t it show transparency that members of the Trump Administration are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please? Doesn’t that demonstrate our commitment to openness?”
