As the US DOJ continues to release Jeffrey Epstein-related documents under the transparency act, US President Donald Trump unleashed a scathing attack on Democrats in a Christmas message over the files, claiming that he severed ties with the convicted sex offender long before it became fashionable. Trump's post came amid the renewed scrutiny over Epstein's associates following the unsealing of court documents by the DOJ related to the late sex offender. Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, had connections to numerous high-profile figures across politics, business, and entertainment. Meanwhile, the DOJ had released several documents related to the late sex offender, with a million additional documents "potentially related" to Epstein uncovered recently. Meanwhile, at least 16 files released in the batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents by the DOJ were removed from the website as of Sunday morning (local time), CNN reported, which also included a photograph of Trump.
