"REP. DAN GOLDMAN: (D-NY): You don't think for a second that part of the reason the Republicans are not here today is so they could avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th and final signature on the discharge petition that would force the release of all of the Epstein files documents, not just the ones that Trump is trying to pick and choose that don't include his name or his buddy's names."
"It's also, I think, really dangerous because it is trying to manufacture a crisis so that Donald Trump can continue to take more and more authoritarian actions and so that he can usurp more and power. And ultimately, my view is that he is looking ahead to 2028, where he will say that, for cockamamie made-up reasons like he's talking to these generals about. That Well, look, we're being invaded from within from the enemy within and we've got to keep our border safe."
Rep. Dan Goldman warned that President Donald Trump used a speech to military leaders and talk about enemies within the United States to lay groundwork for staying in power. Trump spoke after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and made lengthy remarks that included characteristic deviations. Goldman accused House Republicans of refusing to swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva to prevent her becoming the 218th signature on a discharge petition that would force release of all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents. Goldman said Republicans aim to shield Trump from revelations about his relationship with Epstein and that manufactured crises could justify authoritarian measures and postponing the 2028 election.
