"Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie Brown scorched efforts by Republicans to claim that the Democrats could have already released the Epstein files by pointing out a key fact about the timeline. Brown's work is widely credited with leading to the arrests of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for their sordid child sex trafficking scheme, as well as exposing details about the controversially lenient plea deal Epstein had for his earlier criminal case."
"With Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) finally sworn into office last week after a 50-day delay, a House petition for a vote to release the files related to the deceased convicted child sex predator had the 218 signatures needed to pass. For months, President Donald Trump has denounced the effort as a Democrat hoax and publicly berated any Republicans who supported it."
Investigative reporting previously led to arrests of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and exposed Epstein's controversially lenient plea deal. A House petition to vote on releasing files related to Epstein reached the 218 signatures required after Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) was sworn in following a 50-day delay. President Donald Trump initially denounced the release effort as a Democrat hoax and criticized Republicans who supported it, then later urged House Republicans to vote to release the files. Confusion over released materials prompted clarification that the emails published were from Epstein's estate, obtained via a House Oversight Committee subpoena, and are distinct from criminal-case records and ongoing appeals.
