After spending their recess getting booed at town halls over the Epstein Scandal, Members of Congress are back in D.C. and the Trump White House is now scrambling to block the release of the Epstein Files – again. 

In a last minute attempt to dupe the American people, House Republicans are trying to give Trump cover and make it look like they delivered on releasing the files – but the truth is that what they released contained almost no new information and they’re still hiding tens of thousands of pages of files from the public. 

In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:

“Donald Trump tried his best to make the Epstein saga go away over the summer, but now that Congress is back in session, he’s going to have to face the music. It’s a shame that Trump and his administration are more focused on covering up the truth than being transparent with the American people and seeking justice for the victims of Epstein’s heinous crimes. It’s not just cowardly, it’s corrupt. No matter how much Trump tries to move on, the American people deserve to know what’s in the Epstein Files and why Trump is hellbent on covering it up.” 

Let’s not forget: Trump repeatedly called for the release of the Epstein Files, then failed to do so after his DOJ found Trump’s name in the Epstein Files. In August, the Trump administration started doing favors for Epstein accomplice-in-chief Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump still refuses to rule out a pardon for her – and now Maxwell is conveniently claiming that Trump never did anything wrong. When things got really bad, Vance convened government officials in a secret meeting to “deal” with the scandal — but Vance can’t hide the fact that he promised to release the files, too. This may be one of Trump’s greatest cons – and voters can see right through it.
