## Congress Faces Pressure for More Testimony as Epstein Files Controversy Continues
Washington, D.C. — The controversy surrounding the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to grow as lawmakers in the United States push for greater transparency into the network of individuals connected to the late financier.
In recent months, the U.S. Department of Justice released millions of pages of documents tied to the Epstein investigation under the **Epstein Files Transparency Act**, legislation requiring the government to disclose investigative materials connected to the case. The records include emails, reports, and other evidence gathered during federal investigations.
Some of the documents mention several high-profile figures, including former U.S. president Donald Trump, who had previously been known to have social connections with Epstein in the 1990s. The Justice Department has stated that many claims in the files remain **unproven or disputed**, and being mentioned in the documents does not necessarily imply wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, conspiracy theories and unverified posts circulating online claim that foreign actors—particularly Iranian hackers—obtained or released compromising images connected to the case. However, fact-checks and reporting indicate there is **no evidence that Iran hacked the Epstein files or released such material**, and the claims appear to have spread mainly through social media.
Congressional committees continue to examine how the Epstein investigation was handled and whether additional testimony from officials or associates may be required. Lawmakers from both parties say the ongoing scrutiny reflects the public demand for accountability in one of the most notorious sex-trafficking scandals in modern U.S. history.
