Following the August recess, the Epstein case has once again come under scrutiny with the House Oversight Committee scheduled to meet with accusers and potentially depose Maxwell. Furthermore, a bipartisan group of lawmakers plans to hold a press conference advocating for the release of Justice Department files related to Epstein, a move that could conflict with the Trump administration’s reluctance to disclose all documents. Accusers like Avis and Phillips are calling for continued investigation, and if not, they and others will release their own lists. Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the sex trafficking, recently had transcripts of an interview released, while some accusers criticize the administration’s focus on the criminals rather than the victims.

Newly released CCTV footage has revealed the so-called “missing minute” of surveillance footage related to Jeffrey Epstein’s death, contradicting previous assertions that the footage was simply recorded over.

Massie: Trump ‘may be covering for some rich and powerful people’ in Epstein files. That’s a loaded statement, isn’t it? It’s not a matter of *if* Trump is protecting himself. It’s a matter of *how* he’s doing it, and the implications are vast. The consensus here seems to be that the primary motivation is self-preservation, with any other protection being a secondary byproduct of that.
And so, the conversation quickly pivots to Trump’s own potential involvement. It’s not a leap to assume he’s on the list. He was friendly with Epstein for years, and this connection is often cited. The idea that Trump’s actions are solely about keeping himself out of trouble resonates strongly.… Continue reading
The White House has issued a warning to Republican members of Congress, stating that pursuing the complete release of the Jeffrey Epstein files would be viewed as a “very hostile act” by President Donald Trump. Despite the release of over 33,000 documents by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a bipartisan push led by Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna aims for full transparency. Massie, along with a few other Republicans, has initiated a discharge petition to force a vote on the full file release, facing pressure from the White House and the Speaker. Notably, some Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have signaled support for Massie’s efforts, emphasizing their commitment to exposing those involved in the Epstein case.

The House Oversight Committee released over 30,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, though a majority of the files were already publicly available. The release followed a subpoena from Chairman James Comer, who sought the “full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files,” yet notably did not subpoena former President Donald Trump. Democrats criticized the release, claiming it was a cover-up, while the released files included a video clip of a young woman recounting her experience and court documents from Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. The move comes as Congress returns from recess, with Epstein’s crimes and associated networks expected to be a prominent topic of discussion.
