US justice department investigates Epstein's alleged ties to Clinton and banks after Trump request

The US justice department will investigate Jeffrey Epstein's alleged ties to major banks and prominent Democrats, including Bill Clinton, following a request from President Donald Trump. The investigation comes after thousands of Epstein's emails were released by Congress, implicating various high-profile figures. Trump's request for the investigation has sparked accusations of trying to deflect from questions about his own relationship with Epstein, with Democrats questioning his motives.
