Trump demands Justice Department name Democrats in Epstein case
- President Donald Trump has called on the Justice Department to release the names of all Democrats allegedly tied to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
- The president described the controversy as a "witch hunt" and a "Democrat inspired hoax."
- Trump asserted that Democrats, not Republicans, were involved with Epstein and suggested the Justice Department should prioritize other matters like election fraud.
- The administration released some Epstein files on 19 December, but faced criticism for extensive redactions.
- Justice Department officials later confirmed the discovery of over a million additional documents potentially linked to Epstein's case, which will require several weeks for review and release.
