House Minority Leader and Democrat Hakeem Jeffries calls for the release of all Epstein case files. Wealthy financier Epstein had close ties with numerous American political and business elites, and after being arrested on charges of sexual crimes, he died in prison in August 2019, ruled a 'suicide.' Trump promised to release Epstein's 'client list' during his presidential campaign to expose Epstein's crimes and the truth behind his death. Some believe that this list could indicate that Epstein was silenced due to blackmailing American political and business elites.
