House Judiciary Committee Democrats released an unsigned staff report Monday detailing allegations involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Issued just eight days before the election, the report also examines discrepancies between Trump’s public statements and documentary evidence.

The Democrats describe their report as “the case against Donald Trump emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s desperate efforts to cover it up.” They are calling for an independent special counsel to investigate Trump, Attorney General Todd Blanche’s potential conflicts of interest, and DOJ’s handling of evidence.

“The women who survived Epstein deserve to be heard,” Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the committee’s top Democrat, said in a statement.

“Congress must have the complete files required by law, and an independent special counsel must investigate Epstein’s co-conspirators and DOJ’s cover-up and ensure that state and foreign prosecutors have the evidence they need to pursue justice,” Raskin added.

The report, which runs more than 50 pages, alleges that Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s.” The document includes at least one entirely new allegation against Trump but offers no direct evidence beyond the woman’s conversations with Judiciary Committee staff.

Trump has long denied engaging in sexual misconduct with any woman connected to Epstein. He has also maintained that he knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes, while the Democratic report repeats several other longstanding allegations against the president that remain unsubstantiated.

A Democratic Judiciary Committee source told MS NOW that the report relies on publicly available accounts and conversations with survivors. The source declined to provide further details about those discussions or say how many survivors spoke with committee staff, citing privacy concerns.

The report compares Trump’s statements about Epstein in recent years with emails, deposition transcripts, Trump’s previous public comments, and his drawings and signatures. Democrats highlight what they describe as inconsistencies concerning Trump’s awareness of Epstein’s crimes.

The report also accuses DOJ officials, including Blanche, of “doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark” about Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein’s abuse of young women.

“Attorney General Blanche may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump,” the report alleges. Democrats also argue that Blanche’s meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell “potentially constituted witness tampering and obstruction of an official proceeding.”

“Blanche’s apparent instructions not to discuss a specific Epstein victim, and how that victim could implicate Donald Trump, could easily run afoul of 18 U.S.C. § 1512, which forbids hindering or delaying the communication of information relating to the potential commission of a federal offense to a law enforcement officer, as well as corruptly influencing the testimony of any person in an official proceeding — such as a congressional interview and investigation,” Democrats write in the report.

A Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In June, a federal judge found that Blanche had effectively conceded that DOJ was violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act by failing to produce certain unredacted and foreign language documents, among other issues.

DOJ is appealing that ruling. Blanche has rejected suggestions that the department withheld documents that should have been released, saying DOJ “undertook a Herculean task to review millions and millions of potentially responsive files” and completed its review and production obligations “expeditiously.”

White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told MS NOW that “none of these allegations are true.” She characterized the report as a partisan effort to distract voters from Republican political momentum.

“This ‘report’ is nothing more than a desperate attempt by crazed Democrats to distract Americans from the surging Republican momentum driven by President Trump’s historic achievements,” Bis said. “The President kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club at Mar-a-Lago because he was a creep, and he has been fully exonerated of anything related to Epstein.”

Only Democratic staff authored Monday’s report, and the House Judiciary Committee has not served as the principal congressional committee investigating Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes or whether others participated in or enabled his abuse.

The House Oversight Committee’s investigation has included interviews with former Epstein employees, including lawyer Darren Indyke and accountant Richard Kahn, as well as one survivor and alleged co conspirators. That inquiry has primarily examined who directly participated in, funded, or otherwise enabled Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
