"It's well established that Epstein was well-connected and knew many influential figures, including Trump and former president Bill Clinton, NPR's Sarah McCammon tells Up First. She emphasizes that Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing, but notes that the documents continue to highlight the relationship between Trump and Epstein, raising questions about how much Trump knew about Epstein's activities. She adds that it's unclear which documents are credible and which aren't."
"The justices ruled 6-3, stating that the president failed to explain why the situation in Chicago warranted an exception to a law called the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the military's ability to execute laws on U.S. soil. Because the ruling came through an emergency decision, it does not set precedent, NPR's Kat Lonsdorf explains. The decision applies only to this specific case in Illinois, not to troop deployments elsewhere."
The Justice Department released about 30,000 Epstein-related pages including flight logs, memos and letters. The files contain hundreds of references to President Trump and note Epstein's ties to other influential figures. Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing, but the documents highlight their relationship and raise questions about how much he knew. The credibility of individual documents is uncertain, and the Justice Department has said at least one file—a letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar—is fake. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that National Guard troops must stay out of Chicago because the president did not justify an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act.
