House Democrats Seek Full Release of Epstein Files Amid GOP Opposition

Democrats are intensifying efforts to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, aiming to expose alleged cover-ups linked to President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has denied the existence of Epstein's client list. Representative Ro Khanna has introduced multiple resolutions demanding transparency, though these efforts have been blocked by House Republicans, prompting promises to persist. The controversy has sparked divisions within the MAGA movement, with some allies criticizing the administration's handling of the files. Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are leveraging the issue to challenge Trump’s credibility and drive a wedge within the Republican Party, while polling shows significant public belief that information is being withheld. However, Democrats appear cautious about making Epstein the centerpiece of midterm messaging, focusing instead on broader GOP legislative battles. This unfolding situation highlights ongoing political battles over transparency and accountability tied to Epstein’s case and its implications for powerful figures.
