Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi assigned Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to examine Epstein’s links to figures and institutions named by the president, including Bill Clinton and JPMorgan.
- After a bipartisan petition reached the threshold, the House is set to vote next week on a measure compelling the Justice Department to release all Epstein-related records.
- Trump denied knowledge of an Epstein email claiming he “knew about the girls” and said he has not considered pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell.
- The White House called the document releases a hoax, while Trump urged probes of Democratic figures and criticized Republicans who support forcing a files release.
- Emails released by House Democrats cite Epstein writing that Trump “spent hours” at his house with a woman identified as a victim, prompting Republicans to publish a larger trove and accuse Democrats of cherry‑picking.
