Senators Demand Answers on White House's Epstein File Access

Two U.S. senators are demanding an explanation from the White House. They want to know how a top official accessed secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein before their public release. In a formal letter, Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Chuck Grassley questioned White House Chief of Staff Annie Wiles. They are asking for clear details about her actions. The senators specifically want to know three things: when Wiles saw the materials, how she obtained them, and what legal authority allowed her to do so. The documents contain information about Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail. This request comes after Wiles made public comments about the files. The senators argue that her early access raises serious questions about proper procedure. They have given the White House a deadline to respond. The inquiry seeks to ensure transparency and correct handling of sensitive legal documents.
