WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump says he's asking the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Democrats linked to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton, who he alleged "spent large portions of their life" with the disgraced financier.
"I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump's call came after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails obtained from Epstein's estate in which the late financier, who was friends with Trump for more than a decade, alleged the president "knew about the girls." "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in another email.

Trump also railed against Republicans working with Democrats to force the full release of Epstein's federal case files, calling them "soft and foolish" in a social media post, and urged them to stop digging into his relationship with the disgraced financier.
