Mike Pence pushes for release of the Epstein files: ‘The time has come’
Former Vice President Mike Pence has joined the sea of Republicans calling on the Trump administration to release the Epstein files.
"I think the time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution," Pence told CBS News on Wednesday. "It's important that we protect the names of the victims. They should be excluded from any disclosure."
“I think that anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny,” he continued. "I just think we ought to get the facts to the American people, and I've always believed in transparency.”

“It's a big hoax," Trump said Wednesday at the Oval Office. "It's started by Democrats. It's been run by the Democrats for four years."
Pence countered claims that the files were politically charged. "Jeffrey Epstein's prosecution began during the Bush administration, continued through the Obama years," the former vice president said. "I know of no reason why this administration, once the victims' names are protected, should not release all the files on Jeffrey Epstein."
Just hours earlier, Trump took to social media to attack his “past supporters” for buying into “this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker.” He added: “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”
