"Trump had initially urged fellow Republicans in Congress to oppose the new law, warning that releasing potentially sensitive internal investigative records could set a dangerous precedent. But many Trump voters accused his administration of covering up Epstein's ties to powerful figures and obscuring details surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide, in a‹Manhattan jail in 2019. Reuters is in the process of reviewing the latest documents."
"Just 44pc of American adults who identify as Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the Epstein issue, compared to his 82pc overall approval rating among the group, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. Epstein's ties to Trump have been in the spotlight since Democrats in the House of Representatives last month released thousands of emails including one in which Epstein wrote that Trump "knew about the girls" without clarifying what that meant."
The Department of Justice released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein after a congressional vote while retaining the ability to withhold victims' personal information and material that could jeopardize active investigations. The release followed months of political conflict and criticism from some Republican voters demanding transparency about Epstein's ties and the circumstances of his 2019 death in a Manhattan jail. Trump initially urged Republicans to oppose disclosure, warning of dangerous precedents, but later ordered the Justice Department to investigate Epstein's connections to Bill Clinton and JPMorgan. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found 44% of Republican-identifying adults approve of Trump's handling of the matter.
