President Donald Trump has urged the Justice Department to release names of Democrats linked to Jeffrey Epstein, stating the disclosures should be used to "embarrass them." This call comes as the government processes over a million newly identified Epstein-related documents. Trump claims Democrats, not Republicans, were involved with Epstein and accuses them of using the situation to distract from Republican successes. The release of federal records related to Epstein was mandated by legislation signed by Trump in November.
