A key House committee is looking into the investigation of the late Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking crimes.

Any time I say anything about Epstein, they’re like, ‘Why didn’t Joe Biden’s — why didn’t Joe Biden release the files?’ And this is what I say: Have you met Merrick Garland?” Tanden

Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has blasted the Justice Department for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Speaking with NBC’s Meet the Press, the Kentucky representative addressed a July 6 memo from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation concluding that Epstein died by suicide in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019 and that no “client list” of wealthy co-conspirators exists.

Critics have accused Tulsi Gabbard of trying to shield Donald Trump’s administration from scrutiny through her recent claims that top Obama administration officials should be prosecuted for leading a “coup” against the president in 2016 by investigating Russian efforts to help his campaign.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he wants to give the White House “space” to release the Epstein sex-trafficking information on its own.

The Department of Justice said it wants to interview Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, who was convicted of helping the disgraced financier sexually abuse underage girls and is currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison.
