(Daily Beast) — One of President Donald Trump’s most persistent legal foes is going after the Epstein files.
Norm Eisen—the former White House ethics chief under former President Barack Obama and a longtime critic of Trump—has filed a sweeping Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation hand over any files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that may reference the former president.
“The govt’s credibility is hanging by a thread—& now they’re pushing a lie the MAGA base isn’t even buying!“ Eisen wrote on X. “We filed FOIAs to find the truth, because the Epstein files are real, & so is the Trump regime’s threat to democracy.”
