The US Justice Department has confirmed it will investigate the alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein and major banks, as well as prominent democrats like former President Bill Clinton. This announcement was made after a request from Donald Trump, who asked the DoJ to investigate CLinton, JP Morgan Chase former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Democrat donor Reid Hoffman. Trump's request followed the release of over 2,300 email threads from Epstein, which were released by the US Congress. Democrats quickly accused Trump of trying to deflect the fact that Trump himself was mentioned in more than 1,600 of the threads.
Over 20,000 documents were released, which included a 2017 email from Larry Summers, in which he expresses a negative opinion of Trump's early presidency. Most notably, included in the documents was an email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell mentioning a victim spending "hours at my house with him [Trump]." The House of Representatives is preparing for a floor vote on whether the Justice Department will have to release all of the files related to the Epstein investigation.
