US President Donald Trump responded after the US Justice Department released millions of pages linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the documents “absolve me” and are “the opposite of what people were hoping.” He said others had reviewed the files and told him they clear his name. The Justice Department said some claims against Trump were “false” and “sensational.” Officials stressed that being named in the files does not prove wrongdoing. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial. (PC: AP)
