Trump Orders Targeted Epstein Probe
- President Trump publicly ordered a DOJ probe into Epstein ties after months of calling the matter a "hoax."
- The move marks a stark reversal from DOJ's July conclusion that there was no evidence to pursue uncharged third parties.

- The DOJ had earlier said an exhaustive review found no evidence to predicate investigations of uncharged third parties.
- The attorney general's rapid reversal to open probes undercuts that prior DOJ finding.
Release The Files For Transparency
- Release all Epstein-related files to allow public scrutiny and end conjecture.
- Transparency will let the public distinguish between legitimate involvement and mere association.
