The Trump administration has moved to release tranches of documents from controversial past investigations amid increasing scrutiny into its handling of the Epstein investigation — prompting criticism that the White House is seeking a distraction.

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released 114 pages of documents related to the investigation into Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election — something President Trump raised again this week when he said former President Obama was guilty of treason in connection with the matter.

Then on Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi released an Office of Inspector General review into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, sharing it with Congress.

Hours later, Bondi and Gabbard released 230,000 pages related to the investigation into the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination.

“It doesn't take a whole lot of guesswork to say, ‘Gee, do you think they kind of, maybe, sort of want to change the subject?’” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who has called for the release of financial records related to Jeffrey Epstein, given his numerous wire transfers.

“I’m just saying — just saying — maybe. Possibly. Conceivably. That could be it.”
