Over 20,000 new pages released by House Oversight; many documents still heavily redacted. Trump reverses course and says he’ll sign a bill to release the files if passed. Republicans and the White House are increasingly split on what to release. Critics argue much of the material is old or incomplete, frustrating survivors. Satirical breakdown on the political grandstanding and weaponization of trauma.

Why Epstein’s brother says it wasn’t Clinton (which somehow makes it worse). Trump leans into the scandal anyway for political advantage. Additional Epstein emails raise renewed questions about Trump and Clinton’s ties. A satirical breakdown of how a joke email turned into a congressional talking point.
