How did the case start in Palm Beach County? Did Trump know him then? Why is it an endless source of fascination?

Attorney General Pam Bondi is coming under criticism from congressional Republicans growing increasingly frustrated with her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which has badly divided the

"I don't think human trafficking of young teenage girls being exploited by billionaires on a private island is boring," North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis said Thursday.

Tensions rise within the Republican Party as President Trump urges supporters to move on from the Epstein files controversy, while some members call for more transparency.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is discussing backing a measure in support of disclosing more information related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, two sources told The Hill.

A Republican thorn in Donald Trump’s side is joining forces with a California Democrat to seek answers from the administration over sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie–whose opposition to the GOP’s budget bill last month led Trump to demand his exile from the party–teamed up with Rep.

President Donald Trump has gone to great lengths in recent days to quash the Jeffrey Epstein fervor in his party. It doesn’t seem to be working — and one particular effort to force the release of more files could spiral out of his control.

Leavitt had to navigate a tough room of reporters demanding answers on Thursday about the Trump administration’s handling of Epstein’s case. When asked what part of the Epstein situation was a “hoax,” Leavitt blamed Democrats and the media for the outcry over the documents.

The rift within the Republican Party over the release of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein continued to widen, with top congressional allies of President Donald Trump — including House Speaker Mike Johnson — calling for his administration to exercise greater transparency.

Timothy Dwyer, a 26-year-old self-described independent with conservative leanings based in Dyersburg, Tennessee, told the AP that Trump’s plan tariffs have “really sucked.” “He’s turned us into a toilet and has absolutely made us the laughing stock of the world,” Dwyer told the newswire. President Trump is bringing Juul back.

Right-wing Republicans have also criticized the president’s stances on Iran and Ukraine, hinting at a broader fraying of his political coalition.
