Trump Presses Republicans to Block Epstein Files Release
In response to pressure, Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed Jay Clayton, the interim US attorney for the southern district of New York, to lead an investigation into Donald Trump’s political adversaries’ connections to Jeffrey Epstein. This decision contrasts with a previous memo from the justice department and the FBI, which found no grounds for further inquiries in the Epstein files. Trump has intensified his efforts to hinder the release of the justice department’s files related to Epstein, potentially influencing the upcoming House vote on the matter. Recent revelations, including damaging emails, have prompted Trump to call for investigations into Epstein’s ties, while also labeling the situation a “hoax.”
