As prosecutors contend with a massive trove of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump suggested Friday the Justice Department is spending too much time on the issue — but said prominent Democrats linked to Epstein should be named.

The Justice Department has released scores of records on Epstein over the last week, responding to a law requiring it to publish its files on Epstein by Dec. 19. The files cover more than 20 years worth of investigations into the disgraced financier, and highlighted the relationships he cultivated over the years with well-known people like Mr. Trump and former President Bill Clinton — neither of whom have been accused of any wrongdoing.

And on Wednesday, the department announced that the federal prosecutor's office in Manhattan had discovered upwards of 1 million more records "potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case." It said that combing through the newly discovered documents and making necessary redactions could take "a few more weeks."

Mr. Trump addressed the discovery on Truth Social late Friday, writing: "Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc." The president went on to allege that Democrats, not Republicans, are "the ones who worked with Epstein." "Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country," he wrote.

5. Last week...

Bill Clinton demanded that all the files be released and that he needs no "protection" from disclosure.

All this could have been dealt with years ago but some orange-faced shitneck is afraid that his truth will hurt him and his crooked 'friends'.

[Norrrm]

7. Trump himself campaigned on releasing the files... Donnie Jr when they thought it might be bad for democrats.

Is the question still valid, Donnie Jr?

11. THE ONLY REASON

I can think of that would have trump calling to release the names, means the DOJ has wiped or redacted all the repug names.

[Jarqui]

12. Why wouldn't Trump not want any files naming Republicans released?

Wouldn't they be "scum bags" too?

Rhetorical question

[Vinca]

13. Didn't Trump call himself a Democrat during the time Epstein has been accused of crimes?

Hard to imagine, BFF that he was, he didn't partake in his buddy's fun and games. Release the names!

[mwooldri]

14. Sounds okay to me...

Release the files as related to all Democrats - current and former.

15. Release then all

Including those that incriminate the slobfather

16. Trump was a registered Democrat until September of 2009.

And was closely tied to Epstein from the early 90s until at least 2004.

So Trump was best friends with Jefferey during most of his 'bad' behavior.

17. They both actually go back to the '80s

when 45 bought Mar-a-Lago and ended up socializing with him there and in NY.
