Epstein List Could Be Read On House Floor Under Constitutional Immunity [View all]

Source: Newsweek

Republican Representatives Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene have said they would be willing to take advantage of a constitutional immunity rule to read the names of Jeffrey Epstein's associates allegedly involved in abuse. Newsweek contacted Massie and Greene for comment via emails sent outside regular business hours.

Why It Matters

It comes after survivors of Epstein's abuse made their voices heard on Capitol Hill, pushing for more files about the sex-trafficking investigation into the late financier to be released.

The Epstein saga has roiled President Donald Trump's administration since the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in a two-page memo in July that a "client list" that Attorney General Pam Bondi had intimated was on her desk did not exist and that no additional records from the investigation would be made public.

Trump has sought to move on from the issue and blasted it as a "Democrat hoax," but it has caused a split among the president's allies and supporters. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was found dead in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in what authorities ruled a suicide.
