For months, Democrats have been demanding the release of files connected with deceased financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

They may come to regret that move, as this past week saw President Donald Trump order an investigation into Epstein's links to former President Bill Clinton and other Democrats. 

Trump names former Clinton Treasury secretary, other figures

According to Breitbart, the president announced that decision on Friday morning via a post made to his Truth Social platform.

Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures, I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.

Trump then went on to declare the controversy "is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats."

Breitbart noted how Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to Trump's statement with a social media of her own that named Jay Clayton, who serves as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Bondi says DOJ will "deliver answers to the American people"

"Thank you, Mr. President. SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I’ve asked him to take the lead," Bondi wrote.

"As with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people," she pledged.

Breitbart pointed out how Summers previously served as Treasury secretary under Clinton as well as National Economic Council director under former President Barack Obama.

Summers regularly communicated with Epstein via email

In an article published last week, The New York Times cited documents showing that Summers regularly communicated via email with Epstein in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The newspaper observed that these messages saw "Mr. Epstein at times offering advice about Mr. Summers’s relationship with a woman."

It added that the email history "suggests a far cozier and more intimate relationship between the two men than was previously known."

For her part, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stressed on Wednesday that Trump expelled Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club for being "a pedophile" and a "creep."
