Republican-led House panel votes to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein files – now there’s a headline that gets the blood pumping, doesn’t it?

According to The Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times within a large collection of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. During a White House meeting, Bondi and her deputy allegedly told the president that other high-profile figures were also mentioned in the files reviewed by the Department of Justice; however, officials characterized the information as “unverified hearsay.” This revelation follows Trump’s efforts to distance himself from the Epstein affair and comes after the DOJ failed to release more documents, which led to the White House communications director denying the claims as “fake news”. Trump has also responded to a query about the information, dismissing the controversy as a “hoax” while his administration reportedly seeks information from Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

One can’t help but notice that this timing is particularly interesting, especially given the Republican’s recent history of seemingly dragging their feet on this matter. It’s almost as if some members are running away from the topic, which makes this push even more intriguing.
It’s pretty surprising that it took this long for some folks in the government to really start focusing on the Epstein case, considering the scope and gravity of the allegations.… Continue reading
