House Democrats demand a public hearing on the Jeffrey Epstein case, seeking testimony from AG Bondi and FBI officials amid Republican divisions over released memo.
Democrats are latching on to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, demanding records be released and trolling Republicans on social media, news shows and in the U.S. House as they revel in a rare fissure between President Donald Trump and his fiercely loyal base.
Donald Trump again expressed his irritation over a split in his MAGA base over his administration’s contention that there’s no there there when it comes to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday,
Democrats urged the Republican majority to call Justice Department officials, including the attorney general and F.B.I. leaders, to Capitol Hill to discuss how they handled the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to a cryptocurrency bill set for a House vote this week that would compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to "retain, preserve and compile" Epstein-related records and release them within 30 days.
The president is digging in his heels on the issue even as his most fervent supporters turn against his stance on the convicted pedophile who was once his close friend.
