President Donald Trump said Friday he will ask Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman and institutions including J.P. Morgan and Chase. In a Truth Social post, Trump accused Democrats of pushing an “Epstein Hoax” to distract from a shutdown, calling it “another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam.” He has urged Republicans to block a House discharge petition on releasing DOJ Epstein files, though the House speaker says a vote is planned next week. CNN sought comment from those named.
