Overview

  • Elon Musk alleged on June 5 that President Trump’s name is listed in secret Jeffrey Epstein files and suggested this is why they remain unreleased.
  • Reps. Stephen Lynch and Robert Garcia sent a letter to Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel seeking confirmation of the allegation and a timeline for declassifying the remaining documents.
  • The lawmakers cited Trump’s past ties to Epstein, including flights on Epstein’s private plane and visits by Epstein to Mar-a-Lago, as grounds for congressional scrutiny.
  • White House spokesperson Harrison Fields dismissed the inquiry as a baseless stunt lacking factual basis.
  • Observers note that Democrats had not previously pressed for the files, suggesting the sudden focus reflects political motivations.
