House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries admits party's newfound transparency push comes after public outcry, not prior conviction House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries made a surprising admission Monday about how Democrats view their new effort to secure additional documents related to the late convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The president posted a fake AI video of Obama being arrested as Attorney General Pam Bondi released a report on the 2016 FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday said he does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the House’s final week in Washington before a weekslong recess, despite intense pressure from some of his own GOP members to go on the record on the issue.

Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch examine what, if anything, the Jeffrey Epstein saga reveals about the MAGA movement and its ties to conspiracy culture. They debate whether the scandal could derail President Donald Trump's agenda or simply reinforce the need for more government transparency.

The Republican speaker of the House had said last week that the government should release “everything” in the Jeffrey Epstein files, in a rare break with the president that turned out to be short-lived.

Outcry over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files includes calls by leading Missouri Republicans for the president to order the release of as much documentation as possible to put the issue to rest.

The Trump administration records releases on Jeffrey Epstein are finished, but transparency lawsuits may reveal what else the government has kept hidden.

Plus: Trump sued the Wall Street Journal Friday over the newspaper's report that his name was on a 2003 birthday greeting for Epstein.
