President Trump on Friday demanded that the Justice Department open criminal investigations into several high-profile Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and Democratic megadonor and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, accusing them of maintaining close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy social-media post, Trump blasted Democrats for \u201cusing the Epstein Hoax\u201d as a political weapon during the shutdown fight and said federal law enforcement would examine what he suggested were long-standing connections to Epstein\u2019s underage sex-trafficking network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cRecords show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his \u2018Island.\u2019 Stay tuned!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump said he had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department \u201ctogether with our great patriots at the FBI\u201d to investigate the \u201cinvolvement and relationship\u201d between Epstein and top Democratic figures.<\/p>\n

Hours later, Bondi confirmed she had already assigned a prosecutor to oversee the probe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Mr. President. SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I\u2019ve asked him to take the lead,\u201d she wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all matters, the Department will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people,\u201d Bondi added.<\/p>\n

Trump also said investigators should examine \u201cJ.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions\u201d in connection with Epstein\u2019s network.<\/p>\n
