Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi questioning the Trump Administration’s decision to abruptly end a criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s co-conspirators. The investigation, which was active until January 2025, involved nearly 50 survivors who provided detailed information to the SDNY prosecutors and FBI agents, identifying at least 20 co-conspirators. However, the DOJ and FBI closed the case in July 2025, citing a lack of evidence against uncharged third parties, despite the survivors’ credible testimonies and the previous reliance on their information to convict Ghislaine Maxwell. As a result, the House Judiciary Committee is seeking documents related to the investigation and considering reforms to the Crime Victims Rights Act.
