Questions persist about how Jeffrey Epstein, who once moved among the world's elite, was able to avoid federal prosecution for so long. A timeline suggests some answers.

Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna united to demand full disclosure of Epstein documents on Sunday, including Trump's alleged birthday letter.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) says on Meet the Press that he questions why releasing the Epstein files would be “politically painful” for his party after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called for an early recess,

Federal prosecutors amassed millions of records during the sex trafficking investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

I don’t know why it should be politically painful to be transparent,” Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said on Sunday, referring to comments by Speaker Mike Johnson.

Here's the difference between the Epstein files and the Epstein list. The Epstein files refer to information related to the federal case of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking of minors charges.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing Democratic calls to testify before Congress following a newspaper’s revelation that she told President Donald Trump that his name appeared in the files of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation.

“I remember approaching you. I said, ‘I respect women too much to have any sense of what you look like physically, but there is something about your soul that makes me think of tariffs.’ And then you said, ‘Oh, no.’ And I said, ‘No, it’s good. Tariff is the most beautiful word in the English language.’” “That does sound more like you,” she said.

John Oliver addressed Donald Trump's desperate attempts to redirect national conversation away from the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
