Today’s Big Story

Epstein Photo Dump

• House Democrats released 19 photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate on Friday, including images of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and former Prince Andrew. The photos are part of more than 95,000 documents Democrats received from Epstein's estate.

• The White House called the release "cherry-picked photos" and a "Democrat hoax against President Trump." Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Democrats would continue releasing photos to pressure Trump over his administration's refusal to release Department of Justice files from the Epstein probe.

• The Trump administration faces a deadline next week to release DOJ case files that have been the source of conspiracy theories for years. Rep. Thomas Massie said the FBI likely has evidence "that would implicate other people" that wasn't taken to the grand jury. Trump and Clinton have both minimized their relationships with Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges.
