Democratic lawmakers from the House Judiciary Committee are pushing for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Donald Trump's alleged connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections. In a 53-page report, Democrats allege sexual misconduct against Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing.
Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges involving minors, with his death ruled a suicide. The documents, known as the "Epstein Files," have been released due to a law passed by Congress. The report claims that five women have accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein's presence. Democrats accuse Attorney General Todd Blanche of covering up crimes to protect Trump and call for an independent special counsel to investigate Trump, Epstein and Epstein's potential accomplices.
The White House has dismissed the allegations as "complete bullshit" and a political ploy ahead of the November 3 elections.
