Calls intensify for the release of Jeffrey Epstein's files. House members wrestles with the issue as they gear up for their final week before an August recess .

Democratic senators are now all over Epstein. Van Hollen and Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, sent a letter to Bondi on Thursday calling for the files’ release. A cadre of others made a series of floor speeches and statements demanding the administration be more transparent about what’s in the files and if Trump has ties to them.

CNN Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten looks at public sentiment over the Jeffrey Epstein case and how the government is handling it.

Ex-federal prosecutors say a Justice Department request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the prosecution of chronic sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend is unlikely to produce much,

"I have asked the Justice Department to release all grand jury testimony with respect to Epstein," Trump said.

Even President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to think his angry and chaotic efforts to end the renewed storm over convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will work.

The president bragged that his poll numbers have skyrocketed despite ongoing backlash over his handling of Epstein’s files.

The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

A sudden resurgence of interest in the late convicted sex offender, and unanswered questions about his crimes, has been measurable this month in book sales, Netflix streams and YouTube searches.
