Overview
- In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump said he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman and JPMorgan Chase.
- Trump characterized the renewed interest as an “Epstein Hoax” and claimed Democrats are using it to distract from the government shutdown.
- The call came days after the House Oversight Committee released emails from Epstein’s estate, including messages alleging Trump spent hours with Virginia Giuffre and “knew about the girls.”
- Law enforcement has not accused Clinton, Summers, Hoffman or JPMorgan of criminal wrongdoing based on the material released to date.
- The House is moving toward a floor vote as early as next week to seek disclosure of additional Epstein records from the Justice Department.
