Trump named in Epstein files and DOJ hit with subpoenas as Ghislaine Maxwell prepares to testify and GOP unity cracks

Just when the GOP thought it could sweep the Epstein mess under the rug, House Republicans themselves helped force its spotlight back.

Trump may have thought calling it a hoax would end it, now even hold‑‘em‑accountable Republicans are telling him to “release the damn files.” Fires were already smoking; now the forest is on fire.
