Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow continues to shape headlines across politics and public life. A RadarOnline report suggested former President Bill Clinton’s health is deteriorating under stress tied to his Epstein connections, claiming he has been seen with a portable defibrillator as subpoenas and scrutiny mount. At the same time, Elon Musk found himself denying allegations after his name appeared in Epstein’s 2014 calendar. Musk insisted he never visited the island, admitted only to a brief visit to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse with his ex-wife, and accused media outlets of pushing a “false narrative.”

On Capitol Hill, the battle over Epstein’s files has intensified. A discharge petition in the U.S. House, aimed at forcing the Department of Justice to release all unclassified records, has reached 217 signatures and is expected to succeed once a new member is sworn in. Missouri’s Republican delegation has largely sidestepped the issue: only Rep. Mark Alford and Rep. Ann Wagner have spoken publicly, and even then in limited terms, while the rest of the state’s GOP representatives have remained silent. The lack of clarity has drawn scrutiny as pressure builds for lawmakers to take a position.

One of the most outspoken Republicans on the issue has been Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Greene not only signed the discharge petition but also declared on X that she is “not suicidal,” framing her demand for transparency as a personal stand against powerful interests that may want the Epstein records kept sealed. Her warning, paired with the silence of other GOP members and the denials from figures like Musk and Clinton, underscores how the Epstein scandal remains both a political flashpoint and a reputational minefield for America’s most powerful institutions and individuals.
