“The GOP-controlled House has released the first tranche of documents in its investigation into convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — a move intended to quash the mounting calls for answers around why the Justice Department allowed Epstein to continue to prey on victims for decades,” Politico reports.
“The trove of materials, however, is unlikely to satisfy those clamoring for more and new information about the case. “
New York Times: “After years of alluding to a potential cover-up in the case, Mr. Trump has faced a backlash from his right-wing base over the Justice Department’s decision to close the investigation without revealing all of what was discovered. The Oversight panel subpoenaed all the files, but the department has turned over only a portion of them.”
