Overview
- The president withdrew his backing for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, castigating her after she pushed to force release of all Epstein records.
- Greene says private security firms warned of threats against her and she attributes the escalation to the president’s rhetoric.
- House leaders plan a bipartisan vote next week directing the government to make the remaining Epstein materials public.
- Newly released emails from Epstein’s files include his 2019 note asserting Trump “knew” about “the girls,” along with other claims that are unproven or contested.
- At the president’s instruction, DOJ and the FBI have begun inquiries into Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton and other figures, while the White House says the emails prove nothing.
