Epstein’s newly released texts appear to show he messaged Del. Stacey Plaskett during Michael Cohen’s 2019 testimony.

Many of Trump's most loyal supporters believe the government is withholding sensitive documents about Epstein.

Trump himself is mentioned throughout the thousands of pages of Epstein emails, but his call for investigations — which AG Pam Bondi quickly answered — named only Democrats.

Bondi instructed the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, to oversee an investigation, vowing it would be handled “with urgency and integrity.”

Four Republicans said they would vote to release the files after House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed a vote would take place.

President Trump accused Democrats of using what he calls the "Epstein hoax" to defect blame for the government shutdown.

The Democratic National Committee's X account sparked condemnation for highlighting an email the convicted sex offender sent to ex-Clinton and Obama administration official Larry Summers disparaging Trump in 2017.

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance promised their supporters that they would release the Justice Department files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if elected.
