Are the Epstein files a hoax?
Asked 1 day ago
Answer
The Epstein files are not considered a hoax by congressional leaders or investigators. House Speaker Mike Johnson explicitly states the case is not a hoax, and there is bipartisan support for transparency and further investigation. However, some political figures, including the White House, have labeled certain media reports about the files as 'fake news,' particularly regarding high-profile names mentioned in the documents.
