Democrats are urging voters to hound Republicans over the Epstein scandal in a series of attack ads. The adverts about the late paedophile and his friendship with President Donald Trump will run in a dozen Republican-held House of Representatives districts over the August recess, Axios reported.

Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna will call out Vice President JD Vance over his silence on the botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case when he heads to the vice president’s home state. The California lawmaker will appear at the Democratic Mayors Association summit in Cleveland on Friday as the House starts its six-week recess after GOP leaders scrambled to leave Washington amid pressure to release the files.

Driving the news: Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), the co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, told Axios he is "not really focused" on Epstein. "I think the big focus is going to be on health care, because that's what people care about, and I don't think this issue is big outside the Beltway," he said.

Panelists Byron York and Matt Towery discuss the Democratic Party’s attempts to deflect and point fingers at President Donald Trump on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

This week, Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie started pushing to release the Epstein birthday book featuring a letter from Trump, while writing legislation to force the Justice Department to release more Epstein files when the House returns from its break in September.

"Because they are terrified of the growing furor over President Trump's refusal to release the Epstein files," Ross wrote. "In embarrassment and desperation, they are running for the exits while the American people watch in disbelief."

Speaker Mike Johnson is leading the chorus of GOP voices accusing Democrats of a double standard in their calls for transparency in Jeffrey Epstein's case.

The news Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump back in May that his name appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files isn’t that surprising, in context.
