A timeline of Trump’s interactions with Epstein and Maxwell reveals a long pattern of social proximity and one that stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s public downplaying of their friendship.

A press conference in which several victims of Jeffrey Epstein will speak publicly “for the first time” has been scheduled for early September in a bipartisan effort to force President Donald Trump’s hand in releasing files on the disgraced financier.

President Trump has tried to subdue conspiracy theories by pushing to disclose the transcripts from the cases of Jeffrey Epstein, who abused teenage girls, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who assisted him.

Transcripts of grand jury testimony that led to sex trafficking charges against Jeffrey Epstein's longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell shouldn't be released, a judge ruled Monday in a stinging decision suggesting the Trump administration's real motive for wanting them unsealed was to fool the public with an ''illusion'' of transparency.
