Overview

• In a Truth Social post Friday, President Trump labeled the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein documents a “Democrat hoax,” asserting the Justice Department has provided what was requested and calling for the campaign for further releases to stop.
• The House Oversight Committee this week published 33,295 pages it received from DOJ, though many were already public, and lawmakers say document production remains ongoing rather than complete.
• Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are circulating a discharge petition to force a House vote compelling broader disclosures, but the effort has not yet reached the 218 signatures required and has exposed divisions among Republicans.
• Several Epstein survivors held a Capitol news conference rejecting the “hoax” label and urging full transparency, with some saying they will compile and publish their own list if government releases remain incomplete or heavily redacted.
• Epstein’s estate is expected to begin turning over materials to House Oversight starting Sept. 8, including a reported “birthday book,” while a separate claim by Speaker Mike Johnson that Trump served as an FBI informant has not been corroborated by DOJ or FBI records.
