Trump has publicly called on the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to release the names of Democrats allegedly associated with Jeffrey Epstein's network, asserting that revealing those names would 'embarrass' his political opponents and shift attention away from what he describes as a partisan attack.
Trump's remarks, made in a social-media post late on Dec. 26, came as the DOJ continues to release records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law enacted in November 2025 requiring the disclosure of government documents related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, subject to redactions protecting victims and ongoing investigations.
