House Oversight Committee Unleashes Over 20,000 Epstein Documents: Trump Mentions Spark Controversy

In a significant development tied to the ongoing scrutiny of Jeffrey Epstein's network, the House Oversight Committee has released more than 20,000 pages of documents from the late convicted sex offender's estate.This latest batch, disclosed earlier this week, includes emails and files that directly reference US President Donald Trump, reigniting debates about Epstein's associations with high-profile figures.The documents, obtained by the committee from Epstein's estate, feature emails where Epstein allegedly claims that Trump "knew about the girls," a phrase that has drawn sharp interpretations amid Epstein's history of sex trafficking allegations.These exchanges span over a decade and involve communications with dozens of prominent individuals, shedding light on Epstein's social and professional circles.The release comes from the GOP-led House Oversight Committee, which has been probing these materials as part of broader investigations.The White House has swiftly pushed back, labeling the disclosures as a politically motivated "smear" campaign by Democrats.President Trump, who has previously acknowledged a past acquaintance with Epstein but denied any wrongdoing, faces fresh questions as these files surface just months into his term.Representatives is slated to vote next week on whether to release all remaining Epstein files, a move that could escalate tensions further.As public interest surges, experts warn that while these documents provide context, they don't necessarily imply criminal involvement by those named.
