US President Donald Trump on Friday said he has directed the Department of Justice to investigate what he described as Jeffrey Epstein’s “alleged ties” with JPMorgan Chase and several prominent Democratic figures, including former President Bill Clinton.
Trump’s remarks came a day after a congressional committee released thousands of documents related to Epstein, prompting renewed scrutiny of the late financier’s network of political and business connections.
The document release also raised fresh questions about Trump’s own past association with Epstein, an issue that has resurfaced repeatedly in recent weeks.
According to a Reuters report, speaking to reporters, Trump said he had specifically asked the Justice Department to examine the roles of Clinton — who socialised with Epstein in the early 2000s — along with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a high-profile Democratic donor.
