Trump previously had a relationship with the late disgraced financier, who died in a jail cell in 2019 as he awaited a trial on sex trafficking charges.

When Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then-President Donald Trump speculated that authorities might be wrong in ruling it a suicide.

The Jeffrey Epstein controversy showed no signs of quieting as a GOP senator joined calls for all information to be released by the Trump administration, as Democrats protested the GOP’s advancing of two controversial nominees with a dramatic walkout.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday dismissed the outrage within his party over the Jeffrey Epstein files as “bull—t,” rebuking his own supporters for buying into what he called a “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” and declaring he no longer wanted the backing of “weaklings.”

President Donald Trump’s strategy has been to downplay the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case as his supporters demand the Justice Department release much-hyped records in the investigation.

The Department of Justice and FBI's memo on the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has reignited criticism from some of President Donald Trump's supporters over information released in the case involving one of the most infamous sex trafficking criminals in modern history.

Democrats in Congress want to force votes to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files. The party’s candidates are bringing up the Epstein case in campaign speeches. And at least one potential 2028 contender is fundraising off the furor.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida on two state felony charges, paid restitution to three dozen victims, and registered as a sex offender. A decade later, Epstein pleaded not guilty in New York to multiple charges, including sex trafficking.
