YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former Republican Representative Barbara Comstock said that after so many Republicans previously called for release of the government's Epstein files she expects more GOP lawmakers will vote to require the documents be turned over.

Donald Trump said he would ask the Justice Department to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to former President Bill Clinton, onetime Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. after new emails prompted questions about the current president’s own relationship with the disgraced financier.

Trump, in a social media post on Friday, accused Democrats of using Epstein “to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures.”

“Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island,’” he continued, saying he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to “determine what was going on with them, and him.”

The move comes as Trump once again finds himself mired in questions about his history with Epstein — and as a renewed debate over how much information the government should release on the investigation into the convicted sex trafficker divides the president’s allies in Congress.

A congressional committee on Wednesday released some 20,000 pages of documents related to Epstein, and Democrats highlighted a selection of emails in which the late financier suggested the president knew of his activities. The documents included emails in which Epstein — who died in 2019 while facing sex-trafficking charges — appeared to allege that Trump spent hours in a house with one of Epstein’s victims.
