The Justice Department released thousands of documents on Friday related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who committed suicide in 2019. Mr. Trump has at times called the episode a Democratic “hoax,” but ​has also signed into law a bill requiring the full disclosure. I don’t like pictures of others ​being shown, it’s a terrible thing,” Mr. Trump said. “A lot ⁠of Republicans are angry because of the fact that it’s just used to deflect against a tremendous success” by the administration, Mr. Trump said. The Justice Department ⁠has said it is working to clear more documents for release to Congress.
