8:38Now PlayingVirginia Representative Suhas Subramanyam said Democrats will resist any further cuts in spending, even if it means a shutdown showdown in September. He also talks about his efforts to uncover information about the Jeffrey Epstein files and how Congress should approach the issue after it returns from summer recess.
A Republican-led House committee subpoenaed convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell on Wednesday to testify next month while the Wall Street Journal separately published its latest piece drawing a link between President Donald Trump and the disgraced financier.
The Oversight Committee’s deposition of Maxwell is set in the subpoena to take place on Aug. 11 at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee, where she is being held. The Journal reported that Justice Department officials in May told Trump that his name appears in documents related to Epstein, who died in 2019.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and a deputy “informed the president at a meeting in the White House that his name was in the Epstein files” along with “many other high-profile figures, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing unnamed officials.
Being mentioned in the records isn’t a sign of wrongdoing, the Journal wrote. The officials told Trump that the files contained what officials “felt was unverified hearsay about many people” who had socialized with Epstein in the past, including the president. The newspaper said that one official told it that “hundreds” of names are in the documents.
Senior Justice Department officials told Trump they didn’t plan to release more documents related to the disgraced financier, because some of the material contained child pornography and personal information about victims, the paper reported. Bondi has subsequently offered that explanation publicly.
