Trump to ask DOJ to investigate Epstein ties to Democrats, banks

Trump's recent directive to the Justice Department to probe Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Democrats and banks comes amid a backdrop of renewed scrutiny following the release of thousands of documents by a congressional committee. These documents have raised questions about Trump's own relationship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender. In a related context, Trump has expressed frustration over what he describes as 'stupid' Republicans falling into a trap set by Democrats regarding Epstein.
