The Democrats on the committee released three emails Wednesday that Epstein’s estate provided them — prompting Republicans to release their own stash of 20,000 pages of Epstein documents hours later, while the White House accused Democrats of seeking to distract from the government shutdown. In response, Trump announced Friday that...

Oversight Committee Republicans are accusing their Democratic counterparts of using the House’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein to attack President Donald Trump rather than find closure for the late pedophile’s victims. Fox News Digital obtained a 10-page internal memo written by GOP committee staff for lawmakers on the panel that argued Democrats intentionally misrepresented information obtained by Republicans to create a narrative that was not there. ‘Unfortunately, during this investigation, Oversight Committee Democrats, led by...
