I am starting to see a disturbing trend in American politics. One of the most important stories of 2025 is being quietly washed under the rug—pushed aside by some of the media, and slipping out of everyday public discourse.
For weeks, the headlines have mentioned Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein. But this story isn’t just about Trump. It’s about Epstein’s deep ties with many other high-profile individuals in positions of power—and, most importantly, it’s about the survivors. The victims of Epstein and Maxwell’s horrific scheme deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.
Here’s my commitment to you: I will not let this story die. I will not let it be forgotten. Not until every American understands the full scope of Epstein’s network, and not until the survivors’ voices are heard.
If you believe this story matters—and if you want real reporting that refuses to bow to political pressure—then I need your support. Subscribe today, join this movement, and stand with me in making sure the truth cannot be buried.
That’s why, on September 3rd, I’ll be reporting live from the U.S. Capitol, covering a press conference with Epstein survivors. And tonight, I want to take you through a comprehensive list of news and revelations about Jeffrey Epstein that the public must not ignore.
House Republicans and Epstein Files
Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the House could not move forward on addressing the Epstein files while court cases were still ongoing. Republican leaders had left Washington for their August recess without taking action, hoping the matter would fade. Instead, the issue followed them back home, as constituents continued pressing for answers about the Trump administration’s backtracking on its promise to release the documents. This ensured that the controversy would remain unresolved until Congress reconvenes in September.Justice Department Deadlines
The Justice Department ignored deadlines set by Senate Democrats and a bipartisan congressional subpoena demanding Epstein-related files. Despite this, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that DOJ officials had assured him records would begin to be shared with his panel by Friday. However, DOJ has not given a clear timeline for full disclosure, leaving open the likelihood of delays. Democrats are expected to highlight any stall tactics, keeping pressure high on both DOJ and Republicans.Bipartisan Push for Release
Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) launched a discharge petition designed to force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files, bypassing GOP leadership. Although procedural rules prevented signature collection until after recess, the effort already has 43 cosponsors, including 11 Republicans—suggesting majority support is achievable. To escalate pressure, Massie and Khanna plan to hold a high-profile press conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell once Congress returns.Procedural Maneuvers
Democrats on the House Rules Committee, which controls the floor schedule, used procedural tactics to block Republicans’ legislative agenda in protest of the stalled Epstein release. GOP leaders, facing mounting internal divisions and pressure from voters, adjourned the House early rather than address the issue directly. In the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and colleagues invoked an obscure oversight law requiring government agencies to comply with requests from a small group of senators, pressing DOJ to hand over the files.Witnesses & Depositions
William Barr, who served as Attorney General under Trump when Epstein died in 2019, appeared for a closed-door deposition before the Oversight Committee. Subpoenas have also been issued for other former DOJ officials connected to Epstein-era legal decisions, ensuring more testimony in the weeks ahead. Each new deposition is expected to generate fresh waves of media attention and prolong the controversy, regardless of whether documents are released.Court Proceedings
The Trump administration had requested that federal judges release transcripts of grand jury testimony from Epstein- and Maxwell-related cases, arguing this would help bring transparency. But judges in two of the three cases rejected the request, calling DOJ’s claim that the testimony contained “meaningful new information” false. The third case remains under review. With courts resisting, both Democrats and Republicans have concluded that only direct congressional pressure on DOJ will produce the files.Political Stakes
The Epstein controversy collides with a critical September deadline for Congress to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. Republicans now face a dilemma: release the files and risk damaging fallout for Trump, or resist and face backlash from their own voters demanding accountability. Democrats have pledged to keep the matter front and center, ensuring Republicans will have to publicly take a stance. The issue is now poised to dominate the fall legislative session, complicating GOP efforts to focus on other priorities.
We must keep the pressure on. We must keep the public informed. I am not stopping. Not now. Not ever.
