WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed a bill into law Wednesday night requiring the release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The move follows the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in both the House and Senate earlier this week.
And now, the countdown begins.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has 30 days to publish “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ&#8217;s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,” according to the bill <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summary</a>.
The DOJ is also required to release any materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-reveals-whether-she-believes-epstein-committed-suicide">associate</a> and convicted sex trafficker.
This includes flight logs, travel records, and individuals named or referenced — including government officials — in connection with the investigation and prosecution of Epstein.
The published information must be released in a “searchable and downloadable” format, the bill said.
However, the release may not be comprehensive.
The bill allows the attorney general to withhold or redact certain records, including victims’ names, as well as materials that could jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution.
Earlier in November, Trump asked Bondi to investigate Epstein’s “involvement and relationship” with individuals, including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, and financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, to “determine what was going on with them, and him.&#8221;
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) previously appeared on CNN and <a href="https://x.com/SwampyUniparty/status/1991201166793797736?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they wrote the legislation that way “so that if it did pass, things would be on a fast track.”
He noted there could be delays if investigations are underway.
“It is true that if they start investigations in one sort of silo of area of these Epstein files, they could block or delay — it won&#8217;t delay it forever, but they could delay releasing those files there. But here&#8217;s the thing, there are 1,000 victims and there are so many perpetrators, they can&#8217;t open enough cases to block all of the Epstein files,” Massie said.
Additionally, the DOJ will have 15 days after publishing to report the categories of information withheld, a summary of redactions, and a list of all “government officials and politically exposed individuals named or referenced in the published materials.”
“Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115579394833948106">said</a> Wednesday night.
The Department of Justice has already released 50,000 pages of documents, Trump said.
Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee has been <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/chairman-comer-subpoenas-banks-for-epstein-records-seeks-information-from-usvi-attorney-general/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducting</a> its own review of the federal government’s investigations into Epstein and Maxwell. This week, the committee issued subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank for Epstein’s financial records.
More is coming, but just how much and when remains to be seen.

Trump Signed The Bill To Release The Epstein Files. What Happens Next?

Trump Administration

WASHINGTON—The Senate on Tuesday unanimously voted to release documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, just hours after the House of Representatives passed the same bill.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on X that he &#8220;received unanimous consent to approve the Senate bill to release the Epstein Files.&#8221; Once the House sends the bill to the Upper Chamber, it will immediately go to President Donald Trump for his signature.
Just hours before Schumer&#8217;s call for unanimous consent, the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act by a vote of 427-1, with only Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins voting no. Epstein survivors were in the House gallery crying and cheering when the bill passed, The Hill&#8217;s Emily Brooks <a href="https://x.com/emilybrooksnews/status/1990869445242237363?s=20">reports</a>. The bill, which requires the Department of Justice to publish &#8220;all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ&#8217;s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,&#8221; now heads to the president.
Schumer pledged to fight Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) had he attempted to block the resolution. But by the time the House took up the vote, the bill&#8217;s passage already seemed a foregone conclusion. Over the weekend, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115562626931599548">urged</a> House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files and <a href="https://x.com/RoKhanna/status/1990577070204719582?s=20">pledged</a> to sign the bill if passed.
Republicans had initially opposed releasing the files as Democrats pushed to do so, claiming the files implicated Trump. Trump on Monday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-democrats-were-epsteins-friends-trump-said-he-is-all-for-release-of-epstein-files?author=Lynden+Blake&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98The+Democrats+Were+Epstein%E2%80%99s+Friends%E2%80%99%3A+Trump+Said+He+Is+All+For+Release+Of+Epstein+Files">said</a> he was tired of the Epstein saga overshadowing his administration&#8217;s accomplishments, and claimed that releasing the files would hurt Democrats more than Republicans.
Trump&#8217;s about-face turned the tide among Republicans, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/11/18/mike-johnson-epstein-files-discharge-petition-vote">including</a> House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who had previously urged his party to oppose the release.
Higgins said Tuesday that he voted against releasing the files because &#8220;as written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc.&#8221; Higgins pledged to vote for the bill if the Senate amended it to &#8220;properly address privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated.&#8221;
The bill requires the Justice Department to release materials that relate to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-reveals-whether-she-believes-epstein-committed-suicide?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu+and+Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=16&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Ghislaine+Maxwell+Reveals+Whether+She+Believes+Epstein+Committed+Suicide">reported</a> associate and convicted sex trafficker, as well as &#8220;flight logs and travel records,&#8221; and &#8220;individuals named or referenced (including government officials) in connection with the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.&#8221;
The Justice Department is permitted to withhold certain information, such as victims&#8217; personal information and materials that would &#8220;jeopardize an active federal investigation,&#8221; the bill summary noted.
The bill summary said 15 days after the required publication, the DOJ must report &#8220;all categories of information released and withheld, a summary of any redactions made, and a list of all government officials and politically exposed individuals named or referenced in the published materials.&#8221;
This story has been updated to reflect the Senate&#8217;s passage of the bill.

Senate Unanimously Votes To Release The Epstein Files, Sending Bill To Trump’s Desk

Donald Trump

House Republicans

John Thune

It is a brand-new day, and that means it&#8217;s time for more Epstein revelations.
The reason for the Epstein revelations is that there was a discharge petition put forward late last night in the House of Representatives. The petition was signed by several rogue Republicans — some of whom are very much oriented against the Trump administration — in order to shame President Trump by saying that there ought to be a widespread release of more documents.
Democrats had to chum the waters. They had to make everyone interested in Epstein again. So they decided to do this in their usual fashion, which is to selectively release three emails.
Republicans then responded by releasing 20,000 pages of documents.
The Democrats were attempting a shame tactic directed at President Trump that was going to demonstrate full-scale that he was in Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s pocket, or that Jeffrey Epstein was blackmailing Donald Trump, or that Jeffrey Epstein had untoward material about Trump, which is why Trump has been reluctant to allow for the release of more materials.
The reason President Trump does not favor the release of more materials is, as he has noted, there are already tens of thousands of pages of materials out there, and courts have already barred the release of an enormous number of these materials on the basis of victim protection. The FBI is doing the same.
You can yell and scream about it as much as you want, but these discharge petitions, these attempts to pry more documents out, are likely to fail in court.
President Trump believes the whole process is an attempt, by implication, to humiliate him.
And it does seem like that based on what the Democrats did. They dropped three emails, which were less than edifying with regard to the broad conspiracy theories that have been put out there about Jeffrey Epstein.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2317-more-epstein-emails-drop-what-are-the-revelations?elementPosition=4&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-974957" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp" alt="DailyWire+" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-300x50.webp 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-768x128.webp 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1536x256.webp 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-2048x341.webp 2048w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
As I&#8217;ve said a thousand times, there are true, open, honest questions to be asked about Jeffrey Epstein: How did he make all of his money? Where did all that money come from? Why was one media mogul paying him something like $158 million to do his taxes and look for tax breaks? Why was another mogul giving him access to a $70 million home in Manhattan?
These are very real questions that require very real answers. But instead, the entire realm has been filled with the most outlandish speculation. The case that you have heard — retailed in public by many prominent figures — is not the idea that Jeffrey Epstein was running a child sex trafficking ring on behalf of himself, in which he preyed on underage girls, but a broader conspiracy involving the idea that Jeffrey Epstein brought in a bunch of underage girls and a bunch of prominent people, and then blackmailed them after making tapes and taking pictures of them.
There is no evidence for this. In fact, Michael Tracey, who&#8217;s been all over this for years — a journalist with whom I frequently disagree — has done a very good job digging into the details, and there’s no evidence for that version of the story.
That still doesn&#8217;t answer the question as to where all the money was coming from. Was he blackmailing those guys? That could be. But as far as Donald Trump or Bill Clinton or any of the other wide variety of figures who have been mentioned in connection with this, unless you have evidence, it&#8217;s very difficult to make claims about them.
That has been blown into an even bigger conspiracy theory, that Jeffrey Epstein was a foreign agent acting on behalf of a foreign power, honey-trapping these guys in order to blackmail them to change policy.
The evidence of that just doesn&#8217;t exist. If it did, then Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, the president, and the vice president would have an obligation to tell you that.
But they&#8217;re telling you the opposite.
So where is the evidence? It&#8217;s a free country. You can speculate, but stop pretending the speculation is evidence.
That&#8217;s the backdrop of all of this.
Democrats are trying to underscore allegations that Donald Trump was being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein. But in the supposedly embarrassing emails involving Donald Trump, there&#8217;s no “there” there.
Email number one was an email from Jeffrey Epstein, apparently to his lawyer, saying, “I want you to realize that the dog that hasn&#8217;t barked is Trump.” 
This is April 2, 2011, long before Donald Trump was even a gleam in the eye of American presidential politics in a serious way.
“I want you to realize that the dog that has embarked is Trump.” Redaction. And then it says, “‘Victim’ spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned, police chief, etc. I&#8217;m 75% there.”
There is one major problem with this particular revelation. What the Democrats did was to redact the name of the person, supposedly because it was to protect the victim. Who&#8217;s the victim? The victim here is apparently Virginia Giuffre.
Virginia Giuffre was a very unstable person. She passed away recently. She was considered such an unstable personality that prosecutors could not use her in the case against Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. Not only that, but in a sworn deposition, Virginia Giuffre literally said that she was never mistreated by Donald Trump. But if you just read that email out of context, it would sound as though Virginia Giuffre was trafficked to Donald Trump.
But that&#8217;s not what the email says, and that&#8217;s not what the email means. And we have counter-evidence with regard to this particular person.
This is a very cynical move by Democrats to redact the name there and then put “victim.” Not because Virginia Giuffre wasn&#8217;t a victim of someone — he may very well have been victimized by Prince Andrew — but because we know who she is publicly. Also, she&#8217;s dead, so there&#8217;s no more victim protection.
There&#8217;s a deposition with Virginia Giuffre. She said, “Donald Trump was also a good friend of Jeffrey’s. He didn’t partake in sex with any of us but he flirted with me.”
ABC News<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-giuffre-trump-jeffrey-epstein/story?id=127468657"> noted</a>:
<blockquote>Years later, while being questioned by lawyers for Maxwell (who Giuffre sued in 2015 for defamation) – Giuffre said the quote about Trump attributed to her was not accurate. She also said that she had met Trump when she worked at Mar-a-Lago in 2000, but said she did not recall ever seeing Trump at Epstein’s homes or seeing Trump and Epstein together in the same place. She also said Trump never flirted with her.</blockquote>
The basic idea that Giuffre was victimized by Trump is not true. Democrats put out the email cynically and then redacted the name of the victim to make it look like there was another victim who was not Virginia Giuffre victimized by President Trump.
Not true.
The second email is from Jeffrey Epstein to Michael Wolff, who was basically doing PR on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein. Michael Wolff is the author who is constantly writing extremely sleazy and half-accurate tomes about what&#8217;s going on in the Trump administration or the White House.
Wolff was doing defense for Jeffrey Epstein, which shows you what kind of human he is. Jeffrey Epstein apparently wrote to Michael Wolff of Trump, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
If he asked Ghislaine to stop, I don&#8217;t understand why that&#8217;s bad for Trump. They released this email to make it sound like Trump knew about the girls. This email is dated January 2019. According to Trump, he threw Epstein out of his club because he knew that he was acting in nefarious ways.
Third email: from Michael Wolff. This is December 15, 2015.
Michael Wolff wrote, “I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you, either on air or in scrum afterward.” 
Epstein wrote, “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” 
Wolf wrote back, “I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn&#8217;t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you. Or if it really looks like he could win, you could save him generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in Trump regime”.
The proof here is that Michael Wolff, who is a purveyor of many untruths, said to Jeffrey Epstein that he should hold over Trump&#8217;s head the idea that maybe he had been on the plane or to the house.
I&#8217;m not sure what this is supposed to prove.
These are the only three emails the Democrats released. They released them in order to imply things about Trump without actually saying them.
This is one of the things that&#8217;s deeply annoying about our current politics: People are never asked to actually say the thing they appear to be saying.
Instead, they just imply, and then they back away, and then they imply some more, and then they back away.
If you want to say it, just say it. It&#8217;s a free country. You can say it.
And then we can all judge you by what you are actually claiming.

Opinion

U.S. House of Representatives

Bill O’Reilly claimed on Wednesday that there was one major piece missing from the virtual tidal wave of media coverage attempting to tie President Donald Trump to the late disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
O’Reilly raised the question during a recent NewsNation appearance, asking why no one was listening to the testimony provided under oath by late victim Virginia Giuffre and convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — both of whom claimed that Trump was not a key player in Epstein’s activities. But he also wondered why no one was even talking to Epstein’s former attorney, Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz.

“But here&#8217;s the most important person you have, not under oath: Dershowitz. Dershowitz was Epstein&#8217;s lawyer and lawyer-client confidentiality ends with death,” O’Reilly pointed out. “Dershowitz went on television today, said, &#8216;I have all of the Epstein stuff and there isn&#8217;t anything. And I asked Epstein directly while I was representing him whether Donald Trump was involved in any kind of untoward activity.&#8217; And Epstein said no.”
“So now you have the three principal players in this case all saying the same thing. Yet the press is so irresponsible, so corrupt, so hateful, they will not even mention that. It’s death by innuendo — that is what they are aiming for,” O’Reilly concluded.
Most recently, media outlets have been having a field day with the release of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-drop-new-epstein-emails-in-which-he-claims-trump-knew-about-the-girls">documents</a> that claimed Trump knew about Epstein’s girls.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, Epstein made the claims in a 2019 email to anti-Trump journalist Michael Wolff — just over six months before the convicted pedophile was found dead in a New York City jail cell. His death was ruled a suicide.
“[T]rump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,” the email to Wolff states. “[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine [sic] to stop.”
Epstein’s email appears to be addressing Trump’s move to force him out of his club at Mar-a-Lago. Trump, who was a friend of Epstein’s in the 1990s and early 2000s, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/the-facts-and-timeline-of-trump-and-epsteins-falling-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> kicked Epstein out of his club in 2007, just months before the wealthy financier pled guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting a prostitute under 18 years old.

House Democrats released new emails on Wednesday morning that work to tie President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s sex crimes, with the White House immediately firing back labeling the emails &#8220;selectively leaked&#8221; and designed &#8220;to create a fake narrative to smear&#8221; Trump.
Convicted sex offender Epstein claimed in a 2019 email to author Michael Wolff that Trump &#8220;knew about the girls.&#8221; Other emails show him discussing Trump with his fixer, Ghislaine Maxwell, in which Epstein claimed that Trump &#8220;spent hours&#8221; at Epstein&#8217;s home with one of the sexual abusers&#8217; victims.
Epstein&#8217;s email to Wolff was sent on January 31, 2019, less than seven months before Epstein was found dead in what authorities say was a suicide in his New York jail cell.
&#8220;[T]rump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,&#8221; the email to Wolff states. &#8220;[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine [sic] to stop.&#8221;
Epstein&#8217;s email appears to be addressing Trump&#8217;s move to force him out of his club at Mar-a-Lago. Trump, who was a friend of Epstein&#8217;s in the 1990s and early 2000s, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/the-facts-and-timeline-of-trump-and-epsteins-falling-out">reportedly</a> kicked Epstein out of his club in 2007, just months before the wealthy financier pled guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting a prostitute under 18 years old.
In another email released by Democrats on Wednesday, Epstein claimed that Trump &#8220;spent hours&#8221; at Epstein&#8217;s home with one of the sexual abuser&#8217;s victims.
&#8220;[I] want you to realize that the dog that hasn&#8217;t barked is trump [sic]. [REDACTED] spent hours at my house with him, has never once been mentioned. [P]olice chief. etc. [I&#8217;m] 75% there.&#8221;
House Democrats said that the emails &#8220;raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes,&#8221; but the White House pushed back with context that appears to undermine the Democrats&#8217; release.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the redacted victim mentioned in the email is Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. Giuffre had previously said that she did not believe Trump took part in Epstein&#8217;s sexual abuse of minors.
&#8220;The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump. The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and &#8216;couldn’t have been friendlier&#8217; to her in their limited interactions,&#8221; Leavitt <a href="https://x.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1988649781862838297">said</a> in a statement obtained by Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan.

&#8220;The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre,&#8221; Leavitt added. &#8220;These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”
In a third email thread unveiled by Democrats, Wolff and Epstein appear to be strategizing on political tactics surrounding Trump.
&#8220;I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you&#8211;either on air or in scrum afterwards,&#8221; Wolff wrote to Epstein on December 15, 2015, the same day that CNN hosted a 2016 Republican presidential primary debate.
&#8220;If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?&#8221; Epstein replied.
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency,&#8221; Wolff wrote of what he thought Trump&#8217;s strategy should be. &#8220;You can hang him in a way that generates positive benefits for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he&#8217;ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.&#8221;

Trump was never asked about Epstein during that debate.
Critics have pointed out numerous holes in Wolff&#8217;s reporting throughout the years, including in his most popular book, &#8220;Fire and Fury,&#8221; which focused on the first Trump administration. Wolff wrote a piece for The Daily Beast earlier this year linking first lady Melania Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, alleging that she was &#8220;very involved&#8221; in the scandal. The Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-this-story-has-been-removed/">removed</a> Wolff&#8217;s article from its site, writing in an editor&#8217;s note, “Upon reflection, we have determined that the article did not meet our standards and has therefore been removed from our platforms.”
Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein&#8217;s sexual abuse of young girls. The Trump administration, however, has faced criticism from both sides of the aisle for its handling of the Epstein investigation after the Department of Justice said in July that it reviewed the case and did not find evidence of an Epstein client list. The DOJ also concluded that the evidence shows that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell.

Despite the setback at the Supreme Court, Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, said that “this fight isn’t over,” NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-rejects-epstein-associate-ghislaine-maxwells-appeal-crim-rcna233281">reported</a>.
In his appeal to the Supreme Court, Markus contended that Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement with the Southern District of Florida — which shielded him and his potential co-conspirators from federal charges — should also apply to one of Ghislaine Maxwell’s three counts prosecuted in New York. The Justice Department urged the Supreme Court to reject the appeal. The Justice Department noted that Alex Acosta, then the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, would have needed authorization from his superiors for Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement to apply beyond that district. However, there is no evidence that such permission was obtained.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer said that Maxwell’s argument was “incorrect,” adding that she failed to “show that it would succeed in any court of appeals,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/us/politics/supreme-court-ghislaine-maxwell-epstein-appeal.html#:~:text=In%20a%20response%20to%20Ms,in%20any%20court%20of%20appeals.%E2%80%9D">reported</a>.
Maxwell has been seeking any way to have her prison sentence shortened, including an appeal to President Donald Trump, since her sentencing in June 2022.
Just days after Maxwell petitioned the Supreme Court, she agreed to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-reveals-whether-she-believes-epstein-committed-suicide">interviewed</a> by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who asked the convicted sex trafficker numerous questions about Epstein and his associates. The interview was conducted in July, as the Trump administration continued to face backlash over its handling of the Epstein case. Blanche is a former personal attorney of President Trump.
During her interview with Blanche, Maxwell stated that she had never seen any high-profile Epstein associates, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, engage in anything “inappropriate.”
“I actually never saw the president in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way,” she said of Trump. “The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”
Along with the appeal to the Supreme Court, Maxwell’s lawyer also <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/28/trump-ghislaine-maxwell-pardon-jeffrey-epstein-00479862">said</a> that they were asking “the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes.” Trump told reporters in late July that “nobody&#8217;s approached me” about a pardon for Maxwell.
“Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon but nobody&#8217;s approached me with it, nobody&#8217;s asked me about it,” said Trump, adding, “I&#8217;m allowed to do it, but it&#8217;s something I have not thought about.”
One week after sitting down for the interview with the DOJ, Maxwell was moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison in Texas.

The Wall Street Journal on Monday published an image of what they claim is a crass birthday letter President Donald Trump gave to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein &#8212; sparking swift pushback from Trump administration officials, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The text of the letter, allegedly from 2003, is laid over a drawing of a naked woman&#8217;s torso and is supposedly signed by President Trump, the report suggests. The image was provided to Congress by the Epstein estate in response to a subpoena.
<div id="attachment_970047" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-970047" class="wp-image-970047 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-08-at-8.38.06-PM-456x576.png" alt="" width="456" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-08-at-8.38.06-PM-456x576.png 456w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-08-at-8.38.06-PM-238x300.png 238w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-08-at-8.38.06-PM-768x970.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-08-at-8.38.06-PM.png 852w" sizes=" (max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px" />Wall Street Journal</div>
Leavitt rejected the report as &#8220;fake news,&#8221; and noted Trump&#8217;s lawsuit against the paper for its initial July report on the alleged birthday letter.
&#8220;The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire &#8216;Birthday Card&#8217; story is false,&#8221; the press secretary posted to X. &#8220;As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it. President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.&#8221;
Leavitt further commented on the apparent journalistic practices of the Journal before publishing the report. &#8220;The &#8216;reporter&#8217; [Joe Palazzolo], who wrote this hatchet job, reached out for comment at the EXACT same minute he published his story giving us no time to respond.&#8221;
&#8220;This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!&#8221; she added.

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich said the signature on the card doesn&#8217;t match the president&#8217;s signature, and suggested media company News Corp was going to have to shell out big for &#8220;defamation.&#8221;

Vice President JD Vance had a strong reaction, too, posting to X, &#8220;The Democrats don&#8217;t care about Epstein. They don’t even care about his victims. That&#8217;s why they were silent about it for years. The only thing they care about is concocting another fake scandal like Russiagate to smear President Trump with lies.&#8221;
&#8220;No one is falling for this BS,&#8221; he added.

The Journal, back in July, reported on the contents of the letter. Trump quickly called the report phony and moved to take legal action against the paper.
A day after the report was published, the president filed a federal libel lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two Wall Street Journal reporters. He&#8217;s suing for libel, assault, and slander.
<div class="css-1lul109 ep1tdco1">
“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued,” Trump said in a Truth Social post at the time.
Trump said that Murdoch, owner of News Corp, “stated that he would take care of it.”
“But, obviously, did not have the power to do so,” Trump added.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-threatens-to-sue-wsj-over-fake-epstein-letter-orders-bondi-to-unseal-testimony?author=Daily+Wire+News&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=15&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Trump+Threatens+To+Sue+WSJ+Over+%E2%80%98FAKE%E2%80%99+Epstein+Letter%2C+Orders+Bondi+To+Unseal+Testimony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, although Trump and Epstein were friendly for several years when they both lived in New York City, there is no evidence that Trump was involved in any of Epstein’s criminal wrongdoing. Epstein was not accused of sexual relations with young girls until 2005, about a year after Trump kicked him out of his Mar-a-Lago club and the two had a falling out.

‘Open That Checkbook’: Trump Team Taunts WSJ After Release Of Supposed Trump Letter To Epstein

Executive

U.S.

Wall Street Journal

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of documents related to the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice provided the <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-epstein-records-provided-by-the-department-of-justice/">records</a> under subpoena from committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky. The document dump consisted of 33,295 pages.
Speaking to reporters following the release, Comer <a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1963011925358608801">said</a> that the committee continues to expand its investigation into notable figures, such as former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who, as a prosecutor, negotiated a controversial plea deal with Epstein in 2008. The committee is working on releasing other records, as well.
“We&#8217;re gonna continue to bring in more people. We learned of some additional names today,” said Comer. “We&#8217;re gonna do everything we can to give the American public the transparency they seek, as well as provide accountability in memory of the victims who have already passed away, as well as those that were in the room, and many others who haven&#8217;t come forward.”
Comer thanked the White House for working with House lawmakers to make the documents available for release.
“The White House is working with us. I wanna publicly thank the White House for turning over so many documents thus far,” said Comer.
The committee has subpoenaed a number of high-profile figures already, including former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Comer <a href="https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/1962989269351309574">added</a> that the committee plans to subpoena Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell, as well.
The Department of Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-reveals-whether-she-believes-epstein-committed-suicide">interviewed</a> Maxwell and released the tapes of that interview last month. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted the interview, and Maxwell’s testimony backs up some of what the Justice Department has said about Epstein’s case, such as the lack of an Epstein “client list.”
Maxwell also told Blanche that she never saw any man, including President Donald Trump nor Clinton, behave inappropriately around Epstein.
“I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age. I never saw inappropriate habits,” Maxwell told Blanche. “Now somebody’s inappropriate and mine may be different.”
“Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me,” she added. “And I just want to say that I find — I — I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I’ve always liked him. So that is the sum and substance of my entire relationship with him.”

Republican-Led Oversight Committee Drops Massive Trove Of Over 33,000 Epstein Docs

Congress

House Oversight Committee

The Justice Department on Friday released hours of audio and hundreds of pages of <a href="https://www.justice.gov/maxwell-interview">transcripts</a> of interviews it conducted with Jeffrey Epstein associate and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
During her two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell said she does not believe that Epstein, who was found dead in a Manhattan federal prison cell in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges, killed himself.
&#8220;I do not believe he died by suicide,&#8221; Maxwell said, adding that she had no idea who could have been behind his death.
Maxwell confirmed her close ties to the rich and famous, but claimed she never saw any man do anything inappropriate with a woman of any age. She said that it was “a flat no” that any man, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, did anything inappropriate.
“I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age. I never saw inappropriate habits,” she <a href="https://www.justice.gov/storage/audio-files/Interview%20Transcript/Interview%20Transcript%20-%20Maxwell%202025.07.25%20(Redacted).pdf">told</a> Blanche. “Now somebody’s inappropriate and mine may be different.”
Maxwell also denied the existence of any Epstein client list and that anyone was being blackmailed. Blanche asked whether Maxwell had seen a variety of powerful men do anything inappropriate with women during her interactions with them.
“Absolutely never, in any context,” she said when asked if she had seen President Donald Trump do anything improper.
“Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me. And I just want to say that I find — I — I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I’ve always liked him. So that is the sum and substance of my entire relationship with him,” she said, according to the transcript.
“I actually never saw the president in any type of massage setting. I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way,” she added. “The president was never inappropriate with anybody. In the times that I was with him, he was a gentleman in all respects.”
She said that she was unaware of any masseuses from Mar-a-Lago ever giving Epstein a private massage. 
She also complained about people linking her and Epstein together.
“Another thing is that everyone puts us together like a monolith,” she said. “He literally had a separate life from me. I literally had a separate life from him.”
During the interview, Maxwell discussed her relationship with the Clintons, recounting a trip she took to Latin America with President Bill Clinton. When asked what the purpose of the trip was, she said that she did not remember.
“And I thought it was an honor and a privilege to be part of something so amazing and to have an opportunity to spend time with a man that I found truly extraordinary. And please, I don’t mean it in any other way, other than as a former fantastic ex-president,” she said.
She also said that she had met powerful figures like Elon Musk, former CNN host Chris Cuomo, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
According to Maxwell, RFK Jr. and Epstein took a trip in the mid-1990s to find dinosaur bones in the Dakotas. She said that she never witnessed anything inappropriate happen on the trip.
Shortly after the interview files were released, Maxwell’s lawyer put out a statement denying that she had ever committed any crimes.
“Ghislaine Maxwell is innocent and never should have been tried, much less convicted, in this case. She never committed or participated in sexual abuse against minors, or anyone else for that matter,” lawyer David Markus posted on X. “In fact, the government has admitted that it did not even consider her a conspirator during the extensive investigation into Epstein in the Southern District of Florida. The only reason she was ever charged is that she served as a scapegoat after Jeffrey Epstein died in prison.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for her role in the Epstein scheme to sexually abuse and exploit minor girls. She is currently serving out a 20-year sentence and was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-moved-from-florida-prison-to-lower-security-facility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved</a> to a lower-security prison shortly after she met with Blanche.
Trump has been asked numerous times if he would consider pardoning Maxwell.

Ghislaine Maxwell Reveals Whether She Believes Epstein Committed Suicide

Sex Trafficking

An Obama-appointed Manhattan federal judge denied the Trump administration&#8217;s request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the case against Jeffrey Epstein associate and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, saying that move &#8220;would not reveal new information of any consequence.&#8221;
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled on Monday that the Trump administration did not make a compelling case to reveal grand jury testimony, which is kept secret to protect privacy, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/11/us-news/manhattan-judge-denies-trump-admin-bid-to-unseal-ghislaine-maxwell-grand-jury-transcripts/">reported</a>. In his decision, Engelmayer blasted the Justice Department&#8217;s argument for seeking to unseal the transcripts.
“Its entire premise — that the Maxwell grand jury materials would bring to light meaningful new information about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes, or the Government’s investigation into them — is demonstrably false,” the judge wrote, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/11/jeffrey-epstein-ghislaine-maxwell-trump-grand-jury.html">CNBC</a>.
“The Court’s review confirmed that unsealing the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence,” Engelmayer added.
The ruling is yet another setback for the DOJ in its effort to give the public more information about the Epstein case after backlash to the department&#8217;s conclusion that there was no evidence that Epstein kept a client list. Last month, a federal judge in Florida <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hands-are-tied-federal-judge-denies-dojs-request-to-unseal-epstein-grand-jury-transcripts?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=%E2%80%98Hands+Are+Tied%E2%80%99%3A+Federal+Judge+Denies+DOJ%E2%80%99s+Request+To+Unseal+Epstein+Grand+Jury+Transcripts">denied</a> the Trump administration&#8217;s request to unseal grand jury transcripts from the investigation into Epstein. In that decision, Judge Robin L. Rosenberg — another Obama appointee — said that &#8220;the Court&#8217;s hands are tied&#8221; as the law does not allow her to unseal the grand jury testimony.
Judge Engelmayer added in his decision that the Maxwell grand jury transcripts &#8220;do not contribute anything to public knowledge.&#8221;
“A member of the public &#8230; might conclude that the Government’s motion for their unsealing was aimed not at ‘transparency’ but at diversion — aimed not at full disclosure but at the illusion of such,” Engelmayer wrote. “Contrary to the Government’s depiction, the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest. Far from it. It consists of garden-variety summary testimony by two law enforcement agents.”
Maxwell, who recently agreed to sit down with the Justice Department and answer questions related to Epstein for two straight days, has been pushing for a pardon from President Donald Trump, as she also appeals her case to the Supreme Court. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for her role in the Epstein scheme to sexually abuse and exploit minor girls. She is currently serving out a 20-year sentence and was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-moved-from-florida-prison-to-lower-security-facility">moved</a> to a lower-security prison shortly after her meeting with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Last week, Maxwell&#8217;s attorneys came out in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-opposes-doj-move-to-unseal-grand-jury-transcripts">opposition</a> to releasing the grand jury transcripts, saying, “Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not. Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain.”
Another DOJ request to unseal grand jury testimony related to Epstein&#8217;s indictment in Manhattan is still sitting before another federal judge.

CNN ran with a story on Wednesday morning about how top Trump officials planned to sit down and hash out a strategy regarding whether or not to go public with a transcript of the Justice Department&#8217;s recent interview with Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/trump-blanche-epstein-maxwell-vance-bondi-patel-meeting">that story</a>, three anonymous sources had revealed that a dinner had been scheduled for Wednesday evening at Vice President JD Vance&#8217;s residence, and was expected to include the top officials involved in the investigation of Epstein&#8217;s case and the documents relating to it.
CNN&#8217;s report stated that the guest list consisted of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the last of whom conducted the interview with Maxwell.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The report also claimed that two unnamed &#8220;officials&#8221; had said the Trump administration was considering releasing the contents of Deputy AG Blanche&#8217;s interview with Maxwell — and that three anonymous sources &#8220;familiar with the discussions&#8221; had suggested that Blanche could potentially sit for a long-form interview with someone like podcast host Joe Rogan.
There was just one problem with the story: despite being co-authored by Alayna Treene, Josh Campbell, Paula Reid, Kristen Holmes, and Kaitlan Collins, Vice President JD Vance&#8217;s office denied that there was any such dinner planned.
&#8220;The CNN story is pure fiction. There was never a supposed meeting scheduled at the Vice President’s residence to discuss Epstein Strategy,&#8221; Vance&#8217;s communications director William Martin stated.

‘Pure Fiction’: JD Vance Flatly Denies CNN Story About ‘Epstein Strategy’

Ghislaine Maxwell&#8217;s attorneys have announced that she is opposing the Trump administration&#8217;s request to unseal the grand jury transcripts from her sex trafficking case, despite her recent cooperation with the Justice Department.
Maxwell, according to her attorneys, has not seen the full contents of the transcripts, and for that reason, could not be expected to support them being made public, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ghislaine-maxwell-opposes-court-unsealing-her-grand-jury-transcripts">reported</a>.
&#8220;Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not. Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain,&#8221; her attorneys explained.
They also noted that Maxwell — who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking — still has a case pending before the Supreme Court, and said that making the grand jury testimony public could potentially derail those proceedings.
Maxwell&#8217;s attorneys had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/epstein-accomplice-rolls-dice-with-supreme-court-appeals-to-get-conviction-tossed">filed new documents</a> several days prior, claiming that a controversial 2007 plea agreement with her late employer — convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — had also covered her even though it did not mention her by name.
That plea agreement — between Epstein and South Florida prosecutors — had allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state charges of solicitation and procuring minors for the purpose of prostitution, but it also stated that federal prosecutors would &#8220;not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein.&#8221; Several such co-conspirators were named in the filing, and Maxwell was not among them — but her attorneys claim that does not matter.
&#8220;Rather than grapple with the core principles of plea agreements, the government tries to distract by reciting a lurid and irrelevant account of Jeffrey Epstein’s misconduct,” Maxwell’s attorneys wrote. “But this case is about what the government promised, not what Epstein did.”
“This promise is unqualified. It is not geographically limited to the Southern District of Florida, it is not conditioned on the co-conspirators being known by the government at the time, it does not depend on what any particular government attorney may have had in his or her head about who might be a co-conspirator, and it contains no other caveat or exception,” they continued. “This should be the end of the discussion.&#8221;
