Former primetime Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has claimed in a recent interview with Chris Cuomo that President Trump explained his rationale to him for why the Epstein Files must not be released.
In the interview with News Nation, Cuomo asked O’Reilly what his view was on the Trump administration’s “botched” Epstein file rollout.
O’Reilly responded, “I talked to President Trump, man-to-man, eye-to-eye, on St. Patrick’s Day about this. And he said, ‘There are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct.”
O’Reilly added, “They maybe had lunch with them or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another.”
“Those people are destroyed, because there’s not going to be any context. The media doesn’t care about context, so you can’t do that. You can’t destroy a human being by putting out the files, whatever they may be,” concluded O’Reilly.
Interestingly, Barron Trump’s close friend Bo Loudon shared the interview clip.

Per The Hill:
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said he discussed the Jeffrey Epstein case in March with President Trump, who told him there are “a lot of names associated” with the disgraced financier for innocuous reasons.
“I talked to President Trump, man-to-man, eye-to-eye, on St. Patrick’s Day about this. … And he said — and I agree — ‘There are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein’s conduct,’” O’Reilly said Wednesday during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Cuomo.”
“They maybe had lunch with them or maybe had some correspondence for one thing or another,” he told host Chris Cuomo.“If that name gets out,” O’Reilly continued, “those people are destroyed, because there’s not going to be any context. Media doesn’t care about context, so, you can’t do that. You can’t destroy a human being by putting out the files, whatever they may be.”

O’Reilly’s claims are very similar to what Trump shared in an interview with Fox News before being elected.
When Fox & Friends hosts asked if he planned to release the JFK files, he clearly responded, “Yes.”
However, when they asked if he planned to release the Epstein files, he said “Yeah” but added “That less so, because you don’t want to affect people’s lives if there’s phony stuff in there.”
