Calif., says President Trump should release the Epstein files, but is silent on why former President Biden did not do so for the entire four years of his term.

Democratic senators are now all over Epstein. Van Hollen and Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, sent a letter to Bondi on Thursday calling for the files’ release. A cadre of others made a series of floor speeches and statements demanding the administration be more transparent about what’s in the files and if Trump has ties to them.

Mike Pence on Wednesday joined the chorus of Republicans calling on the Trump administration to release files about the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump’s demands for loyalty are so extreme, he comes off as a “wannabe Hitler,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The congresswoman made the remarks when discussing Republican efforts to stop the Jeffrey Epstein files from being released, per Trump’s wishes.

Here’s what to know about the disturbing facts and unsubstantiated suspicions that make Jeffrey Epstein, a registered sex offender, a politically potent obsession.

The unreleased evidence notably includes multiple documents related to two islands Epstein owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Little Saint James -- where his compound was located -- and Greater Saint James. According to the index, the files include a folder containing Island blueprints, photographs and other documents.

Senate Democrats pressed Pam Bondi and FBI leaders Friday for information about references to Trump in the Epstein files.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the president's sentiment on Thursday in regard to critics of the administration's handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
