The political divide over documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein grew in the Senate this week, where Democrats pushed for transparency while Republicans argue Congress has limited power to release the files.

As observer asked, in reference to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, “What exactly do Trump and his administration need cover for?”

Several GOP senators spoke out Thursday, a day after the Wall Street Journal reported Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche informed Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files that the Department of Justice and the FBI reviewed.

Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin tees up a resolution demanding the Epstein court documents be unsealed, and challenged Democrats amid simmering drama over the late sex offender's files.

President Trump can’t seem to escape fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as questions swirl about the meeting between Deputy AG Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell. Former congressman Conor Lamb and Republican strategist Annalyse Keller join The Weekend to discuss.

The Jeffrey Epstein morass surrounding President Donald Trump is deepening amid growing defiance by some Republicans and despite the administration’s most inflammatory attempt yet at distraction.

President Donald Trump continues to wrestle with the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. He once promised to release the files. Now, it has become a tug of war even within his supporters, as Democrats are not letting up either.

Keep in mind: “ Ghislaine Maxwell did not testify during her 2021 trial and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who is set to meet with Maxwell, said earlier this week that no government official had attempted to contact Maxwell for information until the Trump administration.” ( The Hill)
