Key Highlights
- With less than a week before the Department of Justice must release a tranche of case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, Democrats have continued to seize on the politically expedient topic, which has roiled the Trump administration and caused fractures in the Republican Party.
- On Friday, House Democrats released 19 photos from Epstein’s estate that included several images featuring President Donald Trump and other public figures.
- The White House blasted the move and reiterated its position that the Epstein matter is a "Democrat hoax."Friday's disclosure came as Democrats have claimed all year that Epstein's case has newfound salience because Trump, once among Epstein's many wealthy friends before Epstein was accused of trafficking underage girls, tried to suppress the files when he took office.
- Republicans counter that Democrats had full access to the documents for four years under the Biden administration and neither released them nor uncovered information damaging to Trump.
- FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS UNSEALING OF EPSTEIN CASE GRAND JURY RECORDS Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were both indicted on federal sex trafficking charges stemming from Epstein's years of abuse of underage girls.
