JD Vance Presses for Full Epstein File Release, Says Democrats at Risk

U.S. Sen. JD Vance said Democrats are focusing on political attacks instead of supporting the full release of documents related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking on 10 August, the Ohio Republican argued that Epstein maintained extensive ties with “left-wing politicians and billionaires,” yet scrutiny has allegedly centered on former President Donald Trump rather than prominent Democrats. Vance endorsed Trump’s demand for what he called complete transparency of the sealed Epstein records, asserting that the materials could implicate influential Democratic donors and officeholders. The senator did not present new evidence but maintained that public disclosure of flight logs, visitor lists and other files is necessary to clarify the extent of Epstein’s political connections.
