President Donald Trump's name was mentioned nine times across the hundreds of pages in the “phase one" release of the Epstein files.

The attorney general plans to ask a court to release the papers. But even if the request succeeds, it would fall far short of critics’ demands to release all investigative materials.

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.
