During Mr. Trump's first term, his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, resigned following criticism of his handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal when he was a federal prosecutor in Florida. Epstein served 13 months in a jail work-release program after he was originally accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls and young women.

Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie joined NBC's Meet the Press Sunday to talk about his efforts, along with California's Ro Khanna, to release information regarding Jeffrey Epstein, which has met stiff opposition from President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The case of Jeffrey Epstein, sex offender and former friend of the president, has blown up into a major headache for the White House.

How will Congress handle the Epstein files? How will Republicans sell the “big, beautiful bill?” And how might it all impact the 2026 midterms? Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman joins Katy Tur to discuss what he says is one of the more interesting Congresses he’s ever covered.

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted that the drama surrounding late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein “is not a hoax” and that lawmakers want to see justice for the victims.

Despite efforts by President Donald Trump and his inner circle to move past the controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, a bipartisan push in Congress could reignite the issue further

The political divide over documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein grew in the Senate this week, where Democrats pushed for transparency while Republicans argue Congress has limited power to release the files.

The House may have gone home, but the Senate is still in Washington and the controversy over the Epstein files is still top of mind.
