"House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) accused Democrats of pushing a false narrative about President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, but bizarrely cited Alex Acosta as proof of the president's innocence the same man who brokered the disgraced financier's 2008 sweetheart deal. The protest comes as lawmakers, in both parties, have criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for prolonging the shutdown recess to delay a discharge petition that might force a vote on the Epstein files release."
"Trump, who previously called for the release of the Epstein files on the campaign trail, has since dismissed them as a hoax, telling supporters not to waste time on it. But curiosity around his past association with Epstein was renewed following the release of documents that included what appeared to be a birthday note to the disgraced financier, which Trump denied writing."
James Comer accused Democrats of pushing a false narrative linking President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein while citing Alex Acosta and Bill Barr as evidence absolving Trump. Lawmakers from both parties criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for extending the shutdown recess to stall a discharge petition that could force a vote on releasing Epstein files. Trump initially called for the files' release but later dismissed them as a hoax and discouraged supporters from pursuing them. Newly released documents renewed curiosity about Trump's past association with Epstein, including an alleged birthday note Trump denied writing. Democrats alleged House Republicans sought to protect the Epstein files; Johnson called that claim absurd.
