The daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. said the White House should make public the files on financier-turned-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after the Trump administration released thousands of files on her father's 1968 assassination over objections from her and other relatives of the civil rights leader.

The president denied a report that he once sent Epstein a racy birthday letter, and directed his attorney general to release additional documents related to the convicted sex offender.

Alan Dershowitz urged the government to grant Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend immunity so that she can testify about his crimes.

Speaker Mike Johnson expressed unusual frustration with fellow Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who is working with Democrats to force the release of the Epstein files.

NBC News Correspondents Vaughn Hillyard, Tom Winter and Sahil Kapur report on the Department of Justice’s latest announcement that it was seeking a meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. NBC News Justice Reporter Ryan Reilly explains how President Trump is trying to deflect reports on the Epstein files by attacking former President Obama.

At a House Democratic press briefing on Tuesday, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) spoke about the decision to recess early to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Federal judges responded to a request from the attorney general to release grand jury transcripts from cases against Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

House Republicans are pointing fingers at the Trump administration, Democrats and each other over the continued fallout from Jeffrey Epstein's case.
