Growing calls for transparency in the Jeffrey Epstein saga will be left unanswered this week -- frustrating lawmakers from both parties.

In the swirl of money and suntanned women that was their Palm Beach-and-Manhattan set, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein spent nearly 15 years mingling side by side as public friends.

Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson said there will not be a vote before Congress' August recess on a resolution that calls on the Trump administration to release more files related to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Republican speaker of the House had said last week that the government should release “everything” in the Jeffrey Epstein files, in a rare break with the president that turned out to be short-lived.

As Trump faces pressure to release more information regarding Epstein, reports are coming out that the two men knew each other well.

A sudden resurgence of interest in the late convicted sex offender, and unanswered questions about his crimes, has been measurable this month in book sales, Netflix streams and YouTube searches.
