House Democrats seek special counsel to probe Trump's ties to Epstein

House Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, according to The Hill.

The request comes in a new report released Monday, which highlights claims from 11 women linking Trump to Epstein's crimes involving sexual abuse and exploitation.

Among those women, five have specifically connected Trump to Epstein's criminal activities, according to the Democrats' report.

The Democrats argue that a special counsel is necessary to thoroughly examine these allegations and ensure accountability.
