Overview
- House Oversight released roughly 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate, including emails that reference President Trump and include Epstein’s disparaging descriptions of him.
- Lawmakers are set to vote this week on a measure pressing the Justice Department to release all remaining Epstein records, with a referendum expected Tuesday.
- Trump posted on Truth Social that Republicans should vote to release the files, saying, “we have nothing to hide,” and labeling the controversy a “Democrat Hoax.”
- John Oliver opened his season finale by condemning Megyn Kelly’s suggestion that Epstein was not a pedophile, deriding her framing as “pedophile math.”
- Saturday Night Live’s cold open mocked Kelly’s remarks, and coverage reiterated that legal records show Epstein’s victims included minors as young as 14.
