Trump calls for release of any Epstein files naming Democrats: "Embarrass them"

Source: CBS News

December 26, 2025 / 7:59 PM EST


As prosecutors contend with a massive trove of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump suggested Friday the Justice Department is spending too much time on the issue — but said prominent Democrats linked to Epstein should be named.

The Justice Department has released scores of records on Epstein over the last week, responding to a law requiring it to publish its files on Epstein by Dec. 19. The files cover more than 20 years worth of investigations into the disgraced financier, and highlighted the relationships he cultivated over the years with well-known people like Mr. Trump and former President Bill Clinton — neither of whom have been accused of any wrongdoing.

And on Wednesday, the department announced that the federal prosecutor's office in Manhattan had discovered upwards of 1 million more records "potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case." It said that combing through the newly discovered documents and making necessary redactions could take "a few more weeks."

Mr. Trump addressed the discovery on Truth Social late Friday, writing: "Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc." The president went on to allege that Democrats, not Republicans, are "the ones who worked with Epstein." "Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country," he wrote.

Bill Clinton demanded that all the files be released and that he needs no "protection" from disclosure.

All this could have been dealt with years ago but some orange-faced shitneck is afraid that his truth will hurt him and his crooked 'friends'.
