These revelations have renewed calls from Democrats for more transparency around Epstein’s connections. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said in a statement:
“These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the president.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will ensure the House holds a vote next week on releasing the so-called Epstein documents, CNN reports.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former partner, was convicted in 2021 of child sex trafficking and related crimes. She’s currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
