Trump calls for investigation of Epstein's ties to Clinton and others
In a post on social media, US President Donald Trump announced his intention to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to people like Bill Clinton and others. This came after House Democrats released new emails that mentioned Trump, which caused growing political pressure on the administration to disclose other documents related to Epstein.
Trump, who had previously been on friendly terms with Epstein, said that after the latter's arrest in 2019, they had not spoken for more than a decade. White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt dismissed the new revelations, noting that the emails do not prove anything substantive. Trump's request and the news about the correspondence demonstrate how the question of Epstein and his connections remain in the public eye. Current developments may lead to further investigations or new revelations.
