Overview

• Trump says he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein when the financier “robbed” employees from his Mar-a-Lago club and insists he never visited Epstein’s private island.
• The president has ordered the attorney general to release all credible Epstein case materials, even as the Justice Department refuses to unseal further documents.
• The House Oversight Committee formally denied Ghislaine Maxwell’s request for immunity in exchange for her testimony before Congress.
• Maxwell has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her 20-year conviction, arguing she is protected by a 2007 agreement Epstein made with Florida courts.
• July DOJ and FBI memos reaffirmed Epstein’s 2019 suicide ruling and closed the door on additional disclosures, intensifying calls for accountability and transparency.
