President Donald Trump has launched a dramatic political offensive against Bill and Hillary Clinton, vowing to "bring down" the prominent Democrats while potentially delaying the release of the controversial Epstein Files.
White House Declares War on Clinton Democrats
In a significant escalation of political tensions, President Trump ordered US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday to initiate an official investigation into several high-profile Democrats connected to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The targets include former president Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University, and Reid Hoffman, the LinkedIn founder who serves as a major Democratic donor.
A White House source revealed to The Mail on Sunday the President's determination, stating: "The President is determined to bring down Bill and Hillary Clinton and other Democrats who were connected to Epstein. His argument is, if there was so much to see in The Epstein Files, why didn't the Democrats release them under President Biden?"
Epstein Email Contradicts Trump's Claims
The investigation comes as President Trump faces what sources describe as the biggest crisis of his second term due to the escalating Epstein scandal. While Trump has consistently claimed he severed all contact with the billionaire before Epstein's 2008 conviction for child sex offences, newly released documents appear to contradict this narrative.
In one particularly damaging email released this week as part of a 20,000-document disclosure, Epstein himself wrote: "Of course, he [Trump] knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." This statement directly challenges Trump's repeated assertions that he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities.
President Trump has vehemently denied any awareness of Epstein's crimes and has characterised the mounting campaign against him as "a political witch-hunt."
Legal Manoeuvres Could Delay Document Release
The timing of the investigation has raised eyebrows in political circles, with observers noting that launching legal proceedings against the Clintons could effectively delay the publication of further Epstein documents. Congress is scheduled to vote this week on whether to make all five million documents related to the case available to the public.
The Clinton camp has consistently denied any wrongdoing in their association with Epstein. While acknowledging that former president Bill Clinton travelled on Epstein's aircraft, famously nicknamed the Lolita Express, they have firmly denied any visits to his private island.
This development marks a significant escalation in the political warfare surrounding the Epstein case, with the White House apparently using investigative powers to target political opponents while simultaneously creating potential justification for withholding sensitive documents from public scrutiny.
