S Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared in Justice Department files related to financier Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing senior administration officials. 

 Reuters was not able to immediately verify the Journal's report, which the White House characterized as "fake news." 

 The newspaper's report threatened to expand what has become a major political crisis for Trump, whose past friendship with Epstein has drawn renewed scrutiny after his administration said it would not release the files, reversing a campaign promise. 

The Justice Department released a memo earlier this month that there was no basis to continue probing the Epstein case, triggering a backlash among Trump's political base who demanded more information about wealthy and powerful people who had interacted with Epstein. 

Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing related to Epstein and has said their friendship ended before Epstein was first prosecuted. 

Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. 

He had pleaded not guilty and the case was dismissed after his death. 

Under political pressure last week, Trump directed the Justice Department to seek the release of sealed grand jury transcripts from the case. 

A federal judge denied that request earlier on Wednesday.  

While the White House immediately dismissed the report as fictitious, Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a statement that did not directly address the newspaper's reporting. 

"Nothing in the files warranted further investigation or prosecution, and we have filed a motion in court to unseal the underlying grand jury transcripts," the officials said. 

"As part of our routine briefing, we made the President aware of the findings." 

The Journal reported that Bondi and her deputy told Trump at a White House meeting that his name, as well as those of "many other high-profile figures," appeared in the files.
