Former President Donald Trump publicly criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the ongoing release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a financier who was convicted of sex offenses. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the DOJ should consider releasing 'NO MORE' information about Epstein, who has been a controversial figure due to his connections with various high-profile individuals.

This statement followed the DOJ's announcement that it had uncovered over a million additional documents potentially linked to Epstein, which had not been released by a previously mandated deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Trump suggested that the DOJ was being distracted by what he termed a 'Democrat inspired Hoax' and called for the names of Democrats associated with Epstein to be published in order to 'embarrass them.' He argued that the focus should shift back to issues he deemed more pressing, such as allegations of election fraud, while asserting that it was Democrats who had connections to Epstein, not Republicans.
