The push for the Epstein files to be released has been going on for a long time. The latest buzz for it has been driven by the mass majority of democrats, as they want president Trump to be under fire for as long as possible. To say that it is a democratic approach to terrorize Trumps image may hold some value, but there are deeper reasons as to why people want them released then what the surface may suggest. This case has no real political intent but rather people that are interested in what went down and what names we could see in the files.
However this case being targeted at the Republican Party does have an ultimate effect the longer that it goes on. In the article by Politico titled "Latest Epstein files knock White House on its heels", right wing activist Laura Loomer believes that this scandal is going to consume his presidency and that the "Democrats were not going to allow for President Trump to have a successful term." Despite all of this, and even if Trump is involved in the scandal, impeachment is not a foregone conclusion, and more than likely he will stay as president barring any other wrongdoings.
