Raskin demands release of any Epstein files mentioning Trump, Jack Smith report

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – House Democrats accuse the DOJ of withholding Epstein-related documents and call for the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report amid ongoing transparency concerns.

  • On Tuesday, Congressman Jamie Raskin, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, joined 15 fellow Democrats in sending a six-page letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, formally requesting the release of all Jeffrey Epstein-related documents that reference President Trump.
  • This demand followed a Justice Department and FBI memo stating no secret 'client list' existed and reaffirming Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide before trial, contradicting prior claims and frustrating Trump's MAGA base.
  • Senator Ron Wyden accused the Trump administration of withholding actionable Epstein files involving major Wall Street banks and financial institutions, while Elon Musk claimed Trump appears in the Epstein files on the social platform X.
  • Raskin's letter also criticized Bondi for hyping undisclosed Epstein documents and alleged that withholding files aimed to protect Trump from damaging revelations about his decades-old association with Epstein.
  • The calls for transparency deepen political divisions and highlight ongoing disputes over Epstein's case, with Democrats seeking public release of Smith's classified Donald Trump report alongside Epstein materials.
