'Epstein Files' Keep on Haunting Trump's Camp

UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – House Speaker Mike Johnson and multiple Republicans demand full release of Epstein-related documents amid rising pressure on Trump from his supporters and bipartisan calls for transparency.

  • The Trump administration faces a rift with its base over handling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation and withheld documents.
  • This tension stems from Justice Department and FBI statements last week denying the existence of a client list and refusing further file releases.
  • Conservative pundits like Ann Coulter have vacillated in their support, while Trump dismisses the case as "pretty boring stuff" yet promises possible future disclosures.
  • Trump stated on Truth Social that his former supporters have fully believed and accepted this falsehood without question, amidst demands for agency leaders to step down.
  • The dispute underscores Trump's need to maintain loyalty as his base wavers and critics demand transparency about Epstein’s links to powerful elites.
