House Democrats Reveal Epstein Documents, Fox News Minimizes Coverage

Recent revelations about President Donald Trump's alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein have reignited controversy, with a handwritten birthday card from Trump to Epstein surfacing among newly released documents by the House Oversight Committee. Despite the documents coming from Epstein's estate, Trump and his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, have dismissed the allegations as a politically motivated hoax by Democrats, with Leavitt accusing them of feigning concern for victims to smear the president. Trump himself has refused to comment further, calling the matter a 'dead issue.' Meanwhile, Fox News has largely ignored the story, continuing its pattern of minimizing coverage on the Epstein files, even after Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the card. The New York Times report also highlighted JP Morgan’s role in facilitating Epstein’s activities over 15 years, further intensifying scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network and the financial institutions involved. This ongoing saga underscores the polarized response in media and politics, with Republicans broadly denying the charges and framing them as partisan attacks.
