House Democratic leaders will spoke to reporters Tuesday morning as those within the party air frustration with the Trump administration over files tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) have been among the most vocal critics of the Justice Department after a recent memo concluded Epstein did not keep a “client list” and confirmed that he died by suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

President Trump has defended his administration’s handling of the case and urged concerned supporters to move on from the controversy.
