Overview
- Trump said he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to investigate Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers and others.
- Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee released three emails from 2011, 2015 and 2019 in which Epstein wrote that Trump “passed hours” with a victim and “knew about the girls.”
- The messages come from roughly 23,000 pages obtained from Epstein’s estate as Democrats move to compel a full DOJ disclosure following the department’s prior refusal to release more material.
- The White House and the president rejected the disclosures as selective leaks and a false narrative, with Trump insisting he has “nothing to do with that.”
- Committee Republicans accused Democrats of politicizing the files and identified the unnamed victim as Virginia Giuffre, who has previously said she did not see Trump participate in abuse.
