Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter on Monday called for the Trump administration to release the “Epstein files.” Bernice King, the same day the administration released records on the FBI’s surveillance of her father, requested more transparency on an issue that the president has been trying leave behind him: his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Republican speaker of the House had said last week that the government should release “everything” in the Jeffrey Epstein files, in a rare break with the president that turned out to be short-lived.

President Donald Trump on Monday followed up his lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over last week's Jeffrey Epstein story by banishing one of the newspaper's reporters from Air Force One for an upcoming Scotland trip.

As Trump faces pressure to release more information regarding Epstein, reports are coming out that the two men knew each other well.

Growing calls for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein saga will be left unanswered this week -- frustrating lawmakers from both parties.

A sudden resurgence of interest in the late convicted sex offender, and unanswered questions about his crimes, has been measurable this month in book sales, Netflix streams and YouTube searches.

President Trump’s handling of concerns related to Epstein recently provoked a rare eruption among the president’s most loyal supporters, prompting MAGA leaders to caution that some in Trump’s base could become disillusioned enough to sit out the midterm elections.
