Trump Orders DOJ and FBI to Probe Democrats Cited in Epstein Emails

The push tests Justice Department independence following Democrats’ release of emails alleging Trump knew about abused girls.

Overview

  • Trump directed investigations that single out Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman and even JPMorgan, asserting they spent extensive time with Jeffrey Epstein without providing evidence.
  • He rejected the newly disclosed emails’ claims that he “knew about the girls” and had spent hours with one, saying he knew nothing of the messages.
  • Justice Secretary Pam Bondi pledged on X to act “with diligence and honesty,” despite DOJ and FBI statements in July that they found no basis for new probes or for publishing the full Epstein files.
  • The House is preparing to consider legislation next week that would compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein records.
  • Trump publicly broke with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over transparency demands, vowed to back a primary challenger against her, and derided her on Truth Social.
