JD Vance’s Fox News Interview Reignites ‘Release the Files’ Demand

Senator JD Vance’s recent attempt to shift blame for the delayed release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files onto Democrats has ignited a fresh wave of public outrage and renewed demands for full transparency. During a Fox News interview broadcast this past Sunday, Vance, reportedly following a strategy meeting with top Trump administration officials, accused the Biden administration of inaction on the Epstein scandal while praising President Trump’s call for transparency.

Vance’s remarks, which included claims about “leftwing politicians and billionaires” associated with Epstein and a debunked assertion about Bill Clinton’s visits to Epstein’s island, swiftly backfired. Social media platforms immediately erupted with renewed cries of “release the files!” Prominent figures, including conservative Bill Kristol and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, publicly challenged Vance and called for the unredacted release of all documents, regardless of political affiliation, noting that even Trump’s name reportedly appears in the files.

This latest controversy comes on the heels of the Justice Department’s July announcement that no further Epstein files would be made public, a decision that had already sparked bipartisan uproar. The administration faces a growing bind over the Epstein affair, especially given that some senior figures had previously encouraged conspiracy theories surrounding it during the 2024 campaign. Vance himself had previously advocated for the release of the Epstein list just weeks before the election, further highlighting the administration’s shifting stance and the public’s persistent demand for answers.
