Democrats Release Epstein Report Targeting Trump Before Midterms

House Democrats released a report on Monday describing Donald Trump’s links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The document, titled “The case against Donald Trump in the Epstein files,” runs to 53 pages according to i and 50 pages according to Vox. It alleges the Justice Department made a desperate attempt to cover up details of Epstein’s relationship with Trump.

The report draws on public accounts and staff interviews with an unspecified number of survivors. One accuser is a former pageant queen who alleges Trump raped her in 1993; she had previously accused him of groping her, which a Trump spokesperson dismissed at the time as fake.

“Unlike House Republicans, we will use the full subpoena power of Congress to get justice for the survivors and transparency for the American people.”

Democrats say they intend to keep pressing Trump on his Epstein links if they retake the House. Control of the chamber would give them majority power on committees such as Oversight, including subpoena authority.

Representative Suhas Subramanyam, who sits on the committee, told i that Democrats would absolutely target Trump and his administration. Representative Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, told Bloomberg that Epstein would be one of their top priorities.

A White House spokesperson dismissed the report as a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans. The timing, just one week before the midterms, appeared fortuitous to critics.

CNN analysis shows Epstein-related advertising has surged in the 2026 midterms. About 160 such ads have run at a cost of $35 million, compared with just three ads costing $470,000 in the 2024 presidential race.

Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton was accused by Democrats of an Epstein-style deal, according to i. Vox instead features Texas Democrat James Talarico speaking at a public exhibit about the Epstein files in Dallas.
