House Democrats Demand Epstein Files Probe Amid GOP Divisions

A significant political conflict has emerged within the Republican Party and between Republicans and Democrats regarding the handling and release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. While President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have urged supporters to move on following the Justice Department and FBI's memo concluding Epstein died by suicide and denying the existence of a client list, several GOP lawmakers, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, express dissatisfaction and demand full disclosure. House Democrats have called for a formal investigation and public hearings, requesting testimony from top Trump administration officials such as Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel, and others, to restore public trust and examine possible concealment of damaging information. The dispute underscores a rift within the MAGA base and the Trump administration, as some Republicans break ranks with the President's stance, reflecting ongoing frustration over unfulfilled promises to release Epstein files. Democrats emphasize transparency and accountability, accusing Trump and his allies of either hiding information or promoting conspiracy theories for political gain. Efforts to force a House vote on releasing the files have been repeatedly blocked by Republicans, deepening partisan tensions over the issue.
