Top House Democrats demand release of Epstein files

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) renewed his call for the Trump administration to release all Jeffrey Epstein‑related files, citing Elon Musk’s claim that Trump appears in them. In an MSNBC interview, Raskin said the Justice Department should at least release any material Musk referenced, given Musk’s past role as a White House adviser. Raskin and other House Judiciary Democrats also sent a letter demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi release both the Epstein files and the special counsel’s Mar‑a‑Lago report. The letter accused Bondi of shielding damaging information about Trump, The Hill has reported. The push follows a DOJ memo concluding Epstein died by suicide and kept no incriminating client list, contradicting Musk’s allegation.
