Ted Cruz said Trump should "absolutely" release the documents "and also the P. Diddy files," adding, "We deserve to know who is implicated in abusing children.”

In the wake of President Donald Trump ordering the declassification of the federal government files regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., many people have called for him to issue a similar order regarding deceased registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein -- including several Republican senators.

WHEN PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP authorized the full release of federal archives on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he made good on a promise near and dear to academic historians and conspiracy theorists alike.

Republican senators are pressing Donald Trump to release files on Jeffrey Epstein, saying the public has a right to know about the convicted child sex offender's network and who was involved.
