On November 12, 2025, House Oversight Democrats disclosed over 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails, several of which mention President Donald Trump and raise questions about his past associations with the convicted sex offender.
Republicans criticised the release as a partisan effort, highlighting Epstein’s private criticisms of Trump and debunked claims of close ties, while the emails also implicate other elites like Tom Barrack.
The controversy has led to bipartisan momentum for full file disclosure, with a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act imminent next week.
