YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
As Congress returned to Washington Tuesday, the controversy over files related to convicted serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has picked back up, with bipartisan pressure to make files related to the federal investigation into Epstein public. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna of California has co-authored a bipartisan measure that could compel the Justice Department to release the files. The measure was filed by Congressmember Thomas Massie, a conservative who has clashed with President Trump, and lawmakers will begin collecting signatures for their Epstein resolution starting Tuesday. "We need 218 signatures," says Khanna. "We have 216. We have to get two more Republicans on the bill, and we're in talks with at least 10 who are strongly considering it."
Khanna also discusses attempts by congressmembers to recognize a Palestinian state and enact an arms embargo on Israel. Military support for Israel is "a moral stain on the United States because of our complicity," says Khanna.
