Overview
- Trump said Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, declaring there is nothing to hide after previously resisting publication.
- The House is set to consider a bill this week that would compel the Justice Department to publish non-classified Epstein documents.
- Democratic-released emails attributed to Jeffrey Epstein claim Trump knew about the abuse and spent hours with one alleged victim, allegations he denies.
- Even as he reversed on disclosure, Trump urged DOJ and the FBI to investigate prominent Democrats including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman and JPMorgan.
- The push for transparency has exposed a rift with Marjorie Taylor Greene and follows letters from alleged victims urging release, despite DOJ and FBI saying in July they found no basis for new probes or public disclosure.
