The majority of Democrats are happy egging on the Republican fight over releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. But some members worry they're taking their eye off the ball.

In an exchange with reporters Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that Jeffrey Epstein "stole" some young women that worked at his spa at Mar-a-Lago.

A bipartisan congressional duo is now pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files on Capitol Hill.

NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent Julie Tsirkin discusses the bipartisan effort to release the Epstein files. NBC News Legal Affairs Reporter Gary Grumbach explains why Ghislaine Maxwell is appealing her case to the Supreme Court.

During Mr. Trump's first term, his labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, resigned following criticism of his handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal when he was a federal prosecutor in Florida. Epstein served 13 months in a jail work-release program after he was originally accused of sexually abusing dozens of girls and young women.

Here’s what could happen next as lawmakers seek answers in a case that has sparked rampant speculation since Epstein’s death.

Trump has uncharacteristically lashed out at his supporters, urging them to drop their obsession with the case.

Forcing disclosure of the materials from the investigations was delayed, to the consternation of many GOP and Dem voters, but they will have to come to a decision on their return from recess. The question becomes what the lawmakers can -- or will -- do.
