The Republicans in the House of Representatives have made public over 20,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, in which Donald Trump's name appears multiple times. These documents are part of an investigation into how the government handled the Epstein case, who committed suicide in 2019 after allegations of sex trafficking. In an email from 2018, Epstein referred to Trump's business practices, suggesting that he could be involved in dubious activities. Although Trump denies any involvement in illegal activities related to Epstein, criticism from Democrats and some Republicans has increased, especially in the context of calls for transparency regarding government documents. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has gathered enough signatures to force a vote on the release of all files related to Epstein. Trump's online supporters have had mixed reactions, with some defending him while others are calling for more transparency. Epstein's victims believe that these documents represent a step forward in the search for truth.
