President Trump called for the release of additional documents related to the investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following the publication of an article in The Wall Street Journal

Editor’s Note: This adds fuel to the long-standing speculation about Trump’s ties to Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The threat of a lawsuit suggests Trump is pushing back hard against media scrutiny, but it also keeps the spotlight on a controversial relationship he’d likely prefer to leave in the past. For the public, it’s another reminder of how deeply connected Epstein was to powerful figures—and how those connections still stir up drama today.
