Planned dinner for Trump officials to discuss Epstein appears to have been moved amid media scrutiny
(CNN) A dinner planned for Wednesday night at Vice President JD Vance’s residence was seen as an opportunity for Trump administration officials to realign amid the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to four people familiar with the situation. That included a potential chance for Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, who had been at odds over the response, to clear the air.
The meeting appeared to have been moved or rescheduled Wednesday night. Some officials who were expected to attend the meeting, including Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi, were spotted leaving the White House on Wednesday evening. Administration officials told CNN earlier in the day that there were discussions about moving, canceling or rescheduling the meeting amid intense media scrutiny.
Participants were told that the meeting was being shifted and canceled at various points throughout the day following CNN’s original reporting that the meeting was happening, a source familiar with the planning said.
