A Wall Street Journal report late Thursday added new scrutiny to President Donald Trump’s relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

Donald Trump was friendly for at least 15 years with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

"All the work that we did to tell the world what happened to us, it’s all being erased," victim Danielle Bensky said.

President Donald Trump’s White House is frantically trying to put out the blaze sparked by its own promises to expose whatever the federal government is hiding about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. A Wall Street Journal bombshell has only flared up the rage, increasing the likelihood that this fire will keep burning all summer.

A report detailed a birthday card bearing President Trump's name that was sent to Jeffrey Epstein more than 20 years ago. Here's what to know.

Trump knew Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s. During the 2021 trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier's longtime pilot, Lawrence Visoski, testified that Trump flew on Epstein's private plane multiple times. Trump has denied being on the plane.

Yes, the president is in the files, and his own administration provided that information back in February when Attorney General Pam Bondi released the “Epstein Files: Phase I.” While that release was a dud, featuring mostly redacted information and things that had already been reported, Trump’s name was there.
