💨 Abstract

The White House has decided not to recommend a special counsel for the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, despite calls from some of President Trump's supporters. The decision comes amid controversy over the Justice Department's refusal to release additional records from the Epstein case. The White House has dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death, stating that he died by suicide. Trump had previously considered a special counsel but the White House press secretary clarified that the idea was floated by the media and not pursued.
