House GOP leadership drafted a resolution last week to release the investigative materials as a way to provide Republican lawmakers with some political cover as Democrats hammer them on the subject.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) accused President Donald Trump of “running scared” on Monday over his administration’s refusal to release the documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case.

Epstein’s arrest and death became a central focus for QAnon followers, who saw this as alleged proof of a hidden global elite engaged in child trafficking

Calif., says President Trump should release the Epstein files, but is silent on why former President Biden did not do so for the entire four years of his term.

Donald Trump’s demands for loyalty are so extreme, he comes off as a “wannabe Hitler,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The congresswoman made the remarks when discussing Republican efforts to stop the Jeffrey Epstein files from being released, per Trump’s wishes.

The unreleased evidence notably includes multiple documents related to two islands Epstein owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Little Saint James -- where his compound was located -- and Greater Saint James. According to the index, the files include a folder containing Island blueprints, photographs and other documents.

Senate Democrats pressed Pam Bondi and FBI leaders Friday for information about references to Trump in the Epstein files.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the president's sentiment on Thursday in regard to critics of the administration's handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
