Watch: Trump backs Epstein files release, calls it 'Democrat problem'

US President Donald Trump on Monday (November 17) again backed efforts by House Republicans to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, calling it a "Democrat problem" and accusing prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, of ties to the late financier. Trump dropped his longstanding opposition to the bill late on Sunday, days after a House petition gathered enough support to force a vote, a rare instance of House Republicans defying the president's wishes.
