Trump’s former VP says that anyone associated with “despicable” Epstein “ought to be held up to public scrutiny.”

A long with other high-profile individuals who were associated with Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump's name was mentioned nine times across the hundreds of pages made public earlier this year in the “ phase one " release of the declassified Epstein files.

President Trump's loyal base and Democrats alike are now calling for the entire Department of Justice file of Epstein material to be released, an appeal so far rejected by Trump and his aides.
