Trump Backs House Push to Release Epstein Files After Flood of New Emails

House Republicans face a vote this week on urging the Justice Department to make broader records public.

Overview

  • The House Oversight Committee recently published roughly 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein emails that repeatedly reference President Donald Trump.
  • Some emails show Epstein disparaging Trump and include a claim that Trump "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine [Maxwell] to stop," as reported from the released records.
  • The House is preparing to vote this week on a measure urging the Department of Justice to release fuller Epstein case files.
  • Trump posted on Truth Social urging Republicans to support disclosure, saying "we have nothing to hide" and labeling the matter a "Democrat Hoax."
  • John Oliver spotlighted the new emails on Last Week Tonight and rebuked Megyn Kelly’s remarks about victims, then announced a charity auction for public media running through Nov. 24.
