An advocacy group is suing the Justice Department and the FBI for records detailing their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation. Friday's lawsuit by the group Democracy Forward seeks records related to senior administration officials’ communication about Epstein documents and any regarding correspondence between Epstein and President Donald Trump. Since Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York jail cell as he awaited trial, conservative conspiracists have stoked theories about what information investigators gathered on Epstein and who knew about his sexual abuse of teenage girls. Trump denies prior knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and claims he cut off their relationship long ago. The Justice Department hasn't responded to a message seeking comment.
