Parts of the “Epstein Files,” which rocked the US political world, were released on the 2nd, but it is currently understood that most of the information was already known through media reports. The House Oversight Committee released 33,000 pages of files and videos submitted by the Justice Department in response to a congressional subpoena. These include the flight logs of the private plane of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a key figure in the allegations, documents submitted to the court, a video recorded when he died in prison ahead of his trial in 2019, and transcripts of victim testimony. However, it has been determined that this massive amount of data is information that anyone interested in the case would already know, and no new information has been confirmed that would resolve the questions about Epstein.<\/p>\n
The Associated Press pointed out that “most of it contains information that is already publicly known,” and CNN also reported an announcement by Representative Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, that “97% of the documents received from the Justice Department have already been made public.”<\/p>\n
It has not been clearly confirmed whether influential politicians, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, as well as figures in politics and business, were involved in Epstein’s sexual exploitation of minors at the time, including the core of the suspicion, Epstein’s “list of sexual service clients.”<\/p>\n
Accordingly, both Democratic and Republican members of the House of Representatives are preparing to push for a bill to force the Justice Department to fully disclose the Epstein file. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, told reporters that such efforts were “pointless” and that “we want to see justice for everyone involved in Epstein’s misdeeds and the cover-up, but we also want to make sure the innocent victims are protected.”<\/p>\n
Ghylaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice and girlfriend, testified during a July 24-25 meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Branch at the prison where she is serving her sentence that she never saw President Donald Trump in an “inappropriate situation” during Epstein’s crimes.<\/p>\n
According to a transcript released on the 22nd of last month, Maxwell stated that she “never witnessed the President in an inappropriate situation in any way” and that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s “client list.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
