The chances that U.S. President Donald Trump will be impeached have surged after the publication of more files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

On Wednesday, U.S. lawmakers released more than 20,000 pages of documents connected to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Some of the documents mentioned Trump.

Newsweek reached out to the White House to comment on this story outside of normal business hours.
