The United States Department of Justice has announced that it will investigate Jeffrey Epstein's connections with former President Bill Clinton and JPMorgan, following a request from President Donald Trump. This decision comes after the publication of documents that raise questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that Jay Clayton, the federal prosecutor in Manhattan, will lead the investigation. Trump has used this situation to shift attention away from his own involvement with Epstein, emphasizing that the scandal is a Democratic issue.
Although there is no credible evidence that Clinton or others were involved in Epstein's illegal activities, Trump has called for an investigation into them, considering them political rivals. Additionally, JPMorgan recently paid $290 million to Epstein's victims, acknowledging that it ignored warning signs regarding his behavior. This investigation could undermine existing criminal cases, according to legal experts.
