President Donald J. Trump announced Sunday that he fully supports a House vote to release the complete set of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein — the disgraced financier whose death and connections continue to stir controversy across the political spectrum.
The House is expected to review a bill this week that would force the Department of Justice to declassify and publish Epstein’s full dossier, including years of records, communications, and associates swept up in the investigation.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump made his position unmistakably clear:
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide.”
His comments come as critics claim he is trying to stall the vote to avoid political fallout. Trump dismissed those accusations as yet another partisan fabrication pushed by Democrats desperate to weaponize the Epstein scandal.
Democrats Push for Release After New Leaked Emails
Democratic lawmakers — though in the minority — are demanding the full release of the Epstein files following newly leaked emails referencing Trump. They argue the messages “raise serious questions” and must be made public.
The leaks also include exchanges with Larry Summers, former Obama economic adviser and former president of Harvard University. Past documents have already confirmed that Bill Clinton maintained a long-running association with Epstein throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
Trump responded by urging Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to investigate Epstein’s ties to Clinton and Summers, accusing Democrats of selectively weaponizing the disclosures to distract from their own connections.
Epstein Survivors Demand Answers
On Friday, a group of Epstein survivors delivered a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to release the entire file. They insist transparency is essential for achieving justice and exposing every high-profile individual who benefited from Epstein’s trafficking network.
Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime associate and recruiter — is currently serving a 20-year federal sentence for her role in the scheme.
Meanwhile, the FBI and Department of Justice have long maintained that releasing additional material could endanger witnesses and undermine related legal processes, though public pressure is mounting.
A Death Still Surrounded by Suspicion
Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell in August 2019. While the official ruling declared suicide, a significant number of Americans — from both the right and left — believe he was murdered to prevent him from implicating powerful individuals in his orbit.
This weekend, Trump warned that some GOP lawmakers are being “used” by Democrats, insisting that Republican leadership must not allow the investigation to be turned into a political weapon.
“The House Oversight Committee can have everything it is legally entitled to,” Trump declared.
With Congress now under renewed pressure, the fight over the Epstein files is poised to become one of the most explosive political battles in Washington this week.
