"A newly uncovered FBI interview raised new questions about US president Donald Trump's assertion he knew nothing about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, while Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, has faced a barrage of questions from lawmakers about his own ties to the financier. The day's developments underscored how the fallout from the Epstein scandal remains a major political headache for the Trump administration, weeks after the Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related files to comply with a bipartisan bill."
"Newspapers and television news are splashing fresh revelations daily. High-profile careers are crashing. The police are investigating. There are even whispers of "borrowed time" for the country's leader. But not in the United States. The enormous tranche of more than three million emails and other documents, photos and videos released by the Justice Department on January 30 has created a minor headache in the White House and a major crisis in Whitehall."
An FBI interview suggests Donald Trump told the Palm Beach police chief in July 2006 that 'everyone' knew about Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department's release of millions of Epstein-related files has prompted questions about Trump's knowledge, congressional inquiries into commerce secretary Howard Lutnick's ties, and broader political fallout worldwide. The files reveal ties between Epstein and prominent figures across politics, finance, business, and academia, triggering resignations and investigations in the UK and Europe while causing a smaller headache for the White House. Reports also allege Epstein had victims as young as nine.
