President Donald Trump urges the nation to move on from the Epstein files. He said the country should focus on other issues. However, the documents and ongoing investigations show the story is far from over. Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed that the Department of Justice has finished reviewing the Epstein files. He explained that emails, photos, and correspondence do not provide enough evidence for new prosecutions.
Meanwhile, the House of Representatives continues its own investigation into Epstein. Members expect former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify. Republicans warn they may hold them in contempt if they refuse. Some members of Congress and Epstein’s victims claim authorities withheld relevant documents. They argue that some files remain undisclosed. This dispute shows how difficult it is to move on from the Epstein files, even for President Trump.
Other high-profile figures mentioned in the documents faced scrutiny. Former UK officials, tech billionaires, and business leaders had to explain their connections to Epstein. Trump, however, insists he had no wrongdoing and ended his friendship with Epstein years ago. The president said, “Nothing came out about me,” and called on the country to focus elsewhere. Nevertheless, the released Epstein files mention his name more than 6,000 times. Many references describe past interactions, but none show evidence of criminal activity.
Some FBI tips and emails mentioning Trump temporarily disappeared from the Department of Justice website. Officials said false or unverified allegations submitted before the 2020 election caused the removal. Trump continues to deny the authenticity of other material released by Epstein’s estate. Epstein’s victims, including Lisa Phillips, criticized the Department of Justice. They said authorities failed to disclose all documents and violated their privacy. They pledged to continue demanding full transparency.
Meanwhile, Trump’s political base largely moved on from the Epstein files, turning attention to voting disputes and other national news. Democrats, however, continue pushing for unredacted documents. They may issue new subpoenas if they win control of the House. The Epstein files saga remains active. While Trump wants the country to move on, new revelations and congressional actions suggest the story will continue influencing U.S. politics.
