In response to Democratic actions, Trump announced that Attorney General Pam Bondi would investigate Democrats associated with Jeffrey Epstein, including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman. Trump claimed that the records show that these men, along with others, spent considerable time with Epstein. This action seemingly deflects from the longest government shutdown in U.S. history and is portrayed as a “Russia, Russia, Russia Scam” targeting Democrats.

Following the release of emails referencing Donald Trump from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, the former president responded on Truth Social, accusing Democrats of using the issue to deflect from their own failures. The emails, made public by the House Oversight Committee, suggest Trump’s potential knowledge of Epstein’s alleged misconduct, including a 2011 message where Epstein claimed Trump spent hours at his house with a sex trafficking victim.

Democrats are seeking to force a vote to release the full Epstein files, potentially escalating the political debate.
