US EditionTrump's Handling of Epstein Files Isn't the Transparency He Promised
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Republican lawmakers seek to force release of all Epstein case files amid broken transparency promises, with half of Americans unsatisfied, according to a recent CNN/SSRS poll.
- Last week, the Epstein files have become one of President Donald Trump's biggest political liabilities, as efforts for full disclosure largely fell short.
- Under the first Trump administration, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 on sex trafficking charges, and a federal memo said Epstein died by suicide in jail without maintaining a `client list`.
- The MAGA base erupted in anger after a Justice Department memo contradicting the Epstein narrative, Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said, `This is not going to go away for Donald Trump`.
- Amid infighting in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson urged the Justice Department to release Epstein-related documents, and President Donald Trump is not backing down despite ongoing demands.
- A discharge petition from Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna could force a vote to release the files, and Pamela Brown said Congress may seek Maxwell's public testimony.
