Epstein files create political rift as Dems suddenly push for full transparency

After years of Republicans who are leading government transparency on Jeffrey Epstein, the well -associated sexual crimes who died in prison in 2019, Democrats now lead the charge to issue the so -called “Epstein files”.

“I am happy that they join the party, but they should have been more transparent a year ago,” Representative Mark Mark, R-IND told Fox News Digital.

After seizing the Republicans’ request for transparency about Epstein during the administration of former President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump made a campaign in 2024 to issue “Epstein’s files” and the alleged “list of customers”.

However, the Ministry of Justice in Trump and FBI issued a memorandum this week and concluded that Epstein died of suicide in his cell, and there is no “customer list”, and that the supposed “Epstein” files are thousands of sexual assault materials on children and other pornographic materials subject to the seal that the court demanded.

Dealing with the Trump administration of Epstein’s files created a crack between the Maga Party of the Republican Party, which demands more transparency.

“We must expect transparency, regardless of the involved administration, if there is or not the list of customers, if there is or not a video. I mean, we must expect transparency and full disclosure of everything that covers it,” said Messmer Fox News Digital.

Democrats were quick to seize the internal conflict.

“It is very rich on their part,” Representative David Costov, R-Tenn, told Fox News Digital. “But again, if there is no new information, this is a good thing. Just ask the Ministry of Justice to go out and explain it and answer the questions. And if there is something, it is not related, well, explain that too.”

Representative Ralph Norman said, RS.C. , For Fox News Digital, “Democrats will never give Donald Trump the credit for anything.” “Where were the questions when Biden was in office? “

Representative Beth Van Dueen, R-TEXAS, said that the newly discovered Democrats investment in Epstein “prove that it was along him as a political.”

“I respect an invitation to transparency,” MP Blake Moore added. “If it is a democratic or Republican, then I completely respect that. I have no idea about anything on this front. I hope that I just know that people are transparent and that things are not done in any echiding method or for any reason and light. I think it is a lot of importance.”

“I put the issue of Epstein in a file I don’t know, do not care,” Representative Tom McCaltek, R-Calif, told Fox News Digital.
