KEY POINTS

  • On November 15, 2025, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Epstein's connections to Bill Clinton and others.
  • Attorney General Pam Bondi assigned the case to U.S. attorney Jay Clayton in the Southern District of New York.
  • House Democrats released emails suggesting Trump knew more about Epstein's conduct than he admitted.
  • JPMorgan Chase reached a $75 million settlement in 2023 for allegedly assisting Epstein's sex trafficking but denied wrongdoing.

On Friday, President Trump appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi to fully investigate Jeffrey Epstein's friendships, including a guest list with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Bondi delegated the probe to Jay Clayton in the Southern District of New York—because nothing screams urgency like district-level paperwork. Not to be outdone, JPMorgan Chase, which settled a $75 million sex trafficking lawsuit in 2023 without admitting wrongdoing, lamented their unfortunate ‘association’ with Epstein while firmly denying any criminal involvement. Meanwhile, House Democrats released emails hinting Trump knew more about Epstein's extracurricular activities, prompting his counterattack calling the investigation a 'Democrat hoax.' Because why not add more chaos to the dumpster fire?
