The American portal “The Hill” reports about the ongoing second week of “chaos” in the home of Representatives due to the nondisclosure by Donald Trump's squad of the alleged list of Epstein.
It is the names of influential individuals active in the pedophile scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats endanger to force political votes, prompting Republican organization leaders in the home of Representatives to quit many plans for this week.
The centre of the confusion is the Rules of Procedure Committee of the home of Representatives, which sets out the mode of acting draft laws, planning to vote on many laws from Biden times, including immigration law. These laws were to be repealed.
Last week, the Democrats forced Republicans in the committee to hold any politically hard votes on Epstein and threatened to do it again. Republican opponents see that Epstein's case is highly polarized by the MAGA electorate. This is especially about not disclosing the list of alleged pedophiles. Meanwhile, it was this electorate that contributed importantly to Donald Trump's victory. Therefore, the Democrats planned to vote on a bill that would force the current ruling squad to uncover Epstein's file.
The Republicans are very afraid of this and have decided that they will not vote this week. It is simply that the lower home of Parliament will have no affairs to settle in the days preceding the August break. It will address only a fewer non-controversial draft laws, which require the support of 2 thirds of Members.
– Democrats are inactive reporting all these amendments. They want to force Epstein's act to be revealed – and you know, we're all in favour of transparency and we're gonna do it, but they'd alternatively show off. They said they'd be there all night and we'd be there all night. – said Congressman Ralph Norman (Republican of South Carolina), a associate of the Rules of Procedure Committee.
Congressman Jim McGovern (Massachusetts), the leading politician in the Rules of Procedure Commission, confirmed that the committee would not be reunited by the end of the week and could be expected to suspend the gathering as Republicans are having fierce disputes over Epstein's scandal.
"This is the second time in a fewer weeks erstwhile the Epstein case thwarted the Republican organization presidency's plans for a home of Representatives meeting," comments "The Hill".
Republicans from the Rules of Procedure Commission tried to address Epstein's case last week after being criticised for rejecting the Democrats' amendment, which delayed work on the law on codification of cuts in the budget and limiting abroad aid. These changes were proposed by the Department of Government Efficiency.
Members of the Republican organization in committee presented a resolution calling for the release of further acts and prepared it for vote. However, the presidency of the Republican organization does not plan to put this substance to the vote. On Thursday, congressmen are expected to go on vacation.
Speaker of the home of Representatives Mike Johnson announced that he wanted to give the administration time to act independently on Epstein. He maintains that "there is no difference of opinion between the Republicans in the home of Representatives, the home of Representatives and the president on maximum transparency" regarding Epstein's file. He asked the lawyer General to make the file available.
The vote on the non-binding resolution calling for the release of Epstein's file was originally approved, but there were already dilemmas to the gathering of the Rules of Procedure Committee on Monday, or to do so. Congressman Erin Houchin (Republicist from Indiana) expressed concerns about the request to vote on the Democrats' amendment - which is fundamentally different from the Republican amendment. Instead, she advocated voting on a Republican resolution or another means of ensuring transparency.
A competitive measurement in the Epstein case, proposed by representatives of Thomas Massie (Republican of Kentucky) and Ro Khanny (Democrats of California) – would have a greater force of leverage, complicating the dynamics of the Epstein case.
In practice, however, voting on this issue will be possible at the earliest in September.
Donald Trump's administration – contrary to erstwhile suggestions from the head of the Justice Department – decided to cover up papers from a sexual trafficking investigation, as Jeffrey Epstein did, who allegedly committed suicide in a prison cell in Manhattan in 2019.
This decision enraged the Conservatives and the MPA voters. national Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice attempted to put out a fire among right-wing voters and influential members of US president Donald Trump's base. But they caused even more confusion.
The Department of Justice claims that there is no alleged list of persons who were to usage Epstein's services. Against this background, there was a sharp tension between U.S. lawyer General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy manager Dan Bongino at the White home at the beginning of last week.
The FBI refused to disclose additional, widely publicized papers from the Epstein investigation. The leaders of the FBI and the Department of Justice attempted to "dissolve conspiracy theories and exaggerated expectations" which they themselves fueled by talking about cover-up, concealing evidence and suggesting that Epstein might not have committed suicide.
Trump supporters did not hide disappointment by accusing the current administration of concealing the secrets of the alleged “deep state”. It was suggested that Epstein was an worker of Israeli intelligence, collected hooks for prominent people in the state, and did not commit suicide.
The Justice Department thus released a video to prove that Epstein had committed suicide in prison, but it raised doubts over the deficiency of 1 minute in the recording. Various experts noted that it was modified.
Epstein's case is highly polarizing the public. Trump voters expected him to uncover all the papers from the investigation and take a decisive stand against the alleged Deep State. In February, conservative influencers were invited to the White home to familiarize themselves with the "Epstein Act: Phase 1" and "Declassified". However, the binders contained information which was mostly already available to the public.
Also in February, D.A. Bondi herself claimed that "source" at the FBI had informed her of the existence of thousands of pages of previously undisclosed papers and ordered the office to supply "full and complete files of Epstein". She then suggested that officials were analyzing the "truck" of previously withheld evidence that she claimed had forwarded to the FBI.
After which 2 weeks ago, after a multi-month investigation, the Chief Justice issued a message suggesting that "further disclosure of papers would not be appropriate or justified". The Department added that a crucial part of the material was classified by the court to defend the victims, and that ‘only a fraction’ of them would ‘be disclosed publically if Epstein had been brought before the court’.
Trump's squad hoped it was a brief message and a akin FBI memo issued at the same time would close the case. Trump reprimanded the reporter who asked Bondi about Epstein's file.
A later sharp exchange between Bondi and Bongino led to the Vice-Chief of the FBI taking a leave of absence to save intellectual wellness and considering resigning.
As suggested by NewsNation's article, which cited a "source close to the White House", the FBI would have released Epstein's file a fewer months ago if it could do so on its own.
Former Fox News presenter and “America First” program leader Tucker Carlson at the youth right-wing conference Turning Point in Florida said Jeffrey Epstein was most likely an agent of Israeli Mossad. – The real question is not: “Was Jeffrey Epstein a pervert who molested girls?”. The real question is: why did he do it, in whose name and where did the money come from?“ He asked.
– I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein worked for intelligence services, most likely not American. And we have all right to ask for whom – he continued. He further pointed to the government of Israel, which must not be spoken out, due to the fact that "we were someway intimidated and found it rude." There's nothing incorrect with that. There's nothing hateful about it. There's nothing anti-Israeli about it. You have the right to anticipate that your government will not act against your interests and you have the right to request that abroad governments do not act against your interests. said Carlson addressing young conservative activists.
According to the journalist, “everyone in Washington” shares his opinion that Epstein was a Mossad agent.
Carlson had previously suggested that he felt Epstein and his associates' crimes were being covered up to defend American and Israeli intelligence agencies. – The only explanation that comes to head is that intelligence services, American and Israeli, are at the heart of this communicative and are protectede – he said.
His guest Saagar Enjeti, referring to a 2021 article published on BuzzFeed on sex crimes committed by CIA employees, said that "the CIA has reported many documented cases of pedophilia committed by CIA officers". – A fewer years ago, there was an article in BuzzFeed News about the CIA not wanting to prosecute these people in a national court for fear of revealing sources and methods if they were called to trial, and they just cut the case He explained.
Carlson besides pointed out that “no 1 had always reached the point [of Epstein's support and funding] due to the fact that no 1 had always tried. Moreover, for anyone who follows events, it is absolutely apparent that this guy had direct ties to a abroad government.” He asked, among another things, how a simple math teacher, like Epstein, could come to specified large money, having his own jets, a private island, and so on.
Epstein was to have strong ties to Israeli officials, American intelligence services, and criminal organizations.
Carlson late interviewed NBC News, pointing out that he liked Trump and campaigned for him, but “he has his views”. Among another things, he powerfully opposes the US's commitment to another war in the mediate East, including in peculiar against Iran's bombing.
“Let individual explain to this crazy Tucker Carlson that “IRAN CAN'T SIT NUCLEAR!” wrote Trump on his fact Social platform.
The U.S. president is presently facing strong opposition from his prominent supporters, after he decided to attack Iran's atomic facilities and criticized allies for requesting additional information on Epstein.
– The fact that the U.S. government that I voted for refused to take my question seriously and alternatively said: “The case closed, shut up, conspiracy theorist” was besides depressing for me – Carlson commented on the request not to request disclosure of papers from Epstein's investigation. – I'm not a political decider. I'm just a man with my own ideas. I don't work there. I've never worked in any government. I have never taken money from any politician or any government, and I simply have strong views that, by the way, are sometimes wrong, truly wrong. I supported the war in Iraq. So my achievements so far are ambiguous – he commented further.
Carlson, like another influential MEGA individuals, opposes the war against Iran and is increasingly skeptical of the US alliance with Israel.
Steve Bannon, erstwhile White home advisor and media personality of the MAGA, fears that Trump's crew will lose about 10% of the support of the MAGA base due to current turmoil. It is suggested that this would translate into a failure of about 40 seats in the legislature in the supplementary election, or even a failure of presidency by Republicans in 2028.
In the face of an expanding wave of criticism, Trump is definitely defending D.A. Bondi. In a sharp post on fact Social, he wrote: “What happens to my “boys” and in any cases “girls”? Everyone is attacking lawyer General Pam Bondi, who is performing a FANTASTIC WORK!’. He besides stated that Epstein's file was fabricated by political opponents specified as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. And now they are being exploited by the egoistic environments in his electorate and called on supporters to refocus on the MEGA mission.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk again appealed to Trump to uncover Epstein's list. "Just make the file public as promised," he wrote. On Saturday, Musk criticized the president for defending lawyer General Pam Bondi and the way she handled Epstein's case. He besides added that this issue is the "fifth Achilles Trump". He added that Epstein's list was "very serious". “What kind of strategy do we live in erstwhile thousands of children have been subjected to harassment, the government has recordings of the perpetrators, and no of them have even been accused?!?” he asked.
Now it has become known about Trump's "first blow" in connection with his defamation suit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the "Wall Street Journal".
The case was assigned to a national justice appointed by erstwhile president Barack Obama: justice Darrin Gayles, the first openly homosexual African American.
He will oversee a $10 billion suit filed by the president on Friday in connection with reports of a paper about a birthday note he allegedly sent to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump powerfully denied that he was the author of a 2003 letter containing a vulgar drawing of a bare woman. “We have any common features, Jeffrey” was expected to compose Trump. “The puzzles never age, have you noticed? ... Happy birthday – and may each day be another wonderful mystery”, wrote the author.
Trump was besides photographed with Jeffrey Epstein's wife and imprisoned associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The article in the “Wall Street Journal” enraged the president, who accused the authors of the article: Safdar and Palazzolo, that “they falsely claim for the fact that president Trump wrote, drew and signed the letter in 2003” – Trump's lawyers argued in the lawsuit.
The suit was filed in the United States territory Court for the South Florida District. The defendants are Murdoch, his empire News Corp, Dow Jones Company (owned by News Corp), “Journal” and journalists who wrote the article.
The president besides sued ABC News, who agreed to pay $15 million to Trump's presidential library to settle a defamation suit due to the false message made by presenter George Stephanopoulos aired that the president was held civilian for rape against author E. Jean Carroll.
