Questions persist about how Jeffrey Epstein, who once moved among the world's elite, was able to avoid federal prosecution for so long. A timeline suggests some answers.

The public has been seeking answers about the Jeffrey Epstein case for years, especially now after the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Justice Department told President Donald Trump in May that his name appears in the Epstein files.

President Donald Trump continues to receive pushback from people on both sides of the aisle over his administration’s refusal to release more information on disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Federal prosecutors amassed millions of records during the sex trafficking investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice and former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump has repeatedly denied prior knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and claimed he cut off their relationship long ago. For a president skilled at manipulating the media and controlling the Republican Party, it has been the most challenging test of his ability to shift the conversation in his second term.

Trump and Clinton's notes were part of a trove of birthday letters that Epstein's longtime associate and former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, compiled in a leather-bound album that she gave to Epstein as a gift for his 50th birthday.

Joe Rogan lashed out at the Trump administration over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, asking, “Do they think we’re babies?” Rogan singled out FBI Director Kash Patel for criticism as he dug into the situation—which has sparked outcry from the president’s supporters—during the Friday edition of his show.
