Trump and Clinton Probes Deepen Amid Epstein Scandal

The US House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Bill and Hillary Clinton as part of its investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking. The committee, led by Republican James Comer, is seeking information about Epstein's history and the handling of his case by the justice department. The Clintons' relationship with Epstein has been questioned by critics, with Bill Clinton having taken several trips on Epstein's private plane. The committee has also subpoenaed other high-profile figures, including former Attorneys General and FBI Directors.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered prosecutors to present evidence to a grand jury regarding allegations that Donald Trump's political opponents conspired to falsely accuse him of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. The move is part of an ongoing investigation into the so-called Russiagate allegations, which Trump has long claimed were a smear campaign by his political foes. The grand jury will decide whether to file formal charges, although it is unclear what those charges might be or who might be charged.

The article discusses the concerns raised by Jeffrey Epstein's victims and their allies about a potential cover-up by the Trump administration regarding Epstein's crimes and associates. Despite the administration's initial promises to investigate, they have been criticized for their handling of the situation, including the treatment of Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and the lack of disclosure. The victims and their allies have invoked the phrase 'cover-up' and raised questions about the administration's motives, particularly after Maxwell's transfer to a lower-security prison and Trump's suggestion of pardoning her. The article highlights the growing chorus of criticism and the challenges it poses to the administration's efforts to move on from the issue.

A planned dinner at Vice President JD Vance's residence for Trump administration officials to discuss the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal appears to have been moved or rescheduled amid intense media scrutiny. The dinner was seen as an opportunity for officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, to realign and discuss the administration's handling of the Epstein case. The meeting's focus was expected to be on crafting a unified response to the scandal, including whether to publish an audio recording and transcript of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's conversation with Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Trump administration is embroiled in a deepening scandal related to Jeffrey Epstein, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche having recorded conversations with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted accomplice. The administration is considering releasing a transcript of these conversations, which could further fuel the scandal and raise ethical, legal, and political questions. The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to the Justice Department and high-profile figures for files related to Epstein, adding to the controversy.

The Trump administration is moving to investigate the 2016 Russia probe, which President Trump calls a 'hoax.' Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized prosecutors to present a case to a grand jury in South Florida, potentially including subpoenas, to scrutinize government officials' statements and testimony surrounding the 2016 election. The decision is seen as a step towards appeasing Trump's demand for revenge against his perceived enemies and a response to the backlash over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. However, the investigation faces legal and practical hurdles, including the statute of limitations.
