US President Donald Trump has announced plans to order an investigation into paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged links to significant banks and several prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton.
Trump made the announcement via social media, stating that he would request Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to investigate Epstein's involvement and relationship with Clinton and others to determine what was going on with them, and him.
Interest in Epstein’s relationships was reignited this week when US lawmakers released over 20,000 pages of documents from his estate, some of which mention Trump himself.
Clinton has consistently denied any prior knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Beyond Clinton, Trump has called on the Department of Justice (DoJ) to look into banks such as JP Morgan and Chase, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who is recognized as a major Democratic donor.
Trump stated, Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat's problem, not the Republican's problem! He further remarked that those involved should not waste time on Trump, as he has a country to run.
In response, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase expressed the firm's regret over any association with Epstein, asserting that the bank did not help him commit his heinous acts.
