Oversight Democrats’ Statement After DOJ Released Previously Withheld Epstein Files Accusing President Trump of Sexual Abuse, Continues White House Cover-Up

(March 6, 2026)

“After Oversight Democrats voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ released a portion of previously-withheld documents with serious allegations against President Trump and an underage victim. The FBI interviewed the witness four times, and the American people can now see some of those documents for themselves.

But let’s be clear: this White House cover-up is ongoing. Millions of pages still remain concealed from the public and our committee. We will get answers when Pam Bondi appears before our committee under oath,” said Sara Guerrero, spokesperson for Oversight Democrats.

This week, Ranking Member Garcia helped secure a subpoena for Attorney General Bondi to testify before the Committee following a motion by Congresswoman Nancy Mace supported by all Committee Democrats.

It‘s up to Congress to disrupt Pam Bondi‘s Epstein cover-up | Opinion

Republicans largely backed Bondi after her last hearing, even after the attorney general inadvertently revealed that her department was secretly tracking what members of Congress searched for when given private access to unredacted Epstein files.

Now, five Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee joined all of the Democrats on March 4 to vote 24-19 to subpoena Bondi to explain why she has been „instrumental in orchestrating the White House‘s cover-up of the Epstein files.“

Is Trump’s Iran attack an Epstein files distraction? Examine the evidence | Opinion

(March 5, 2026)

Circumstantial evidence in all these invasions lead me to one conclusion: The presidents who launched them all had self-serving political motives to do so. Ronald Reagan was seeking to divert attention from the Iran-Contra affair. George H.W. Bush was trying to divert attention from the savings and loan scandal. Bill Clinton launched attacks on both Afghanistan and Sudan at roughly the same time his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky was revealed. And George W. Bush was seeking to enhance his reelection chances in the 2004 presidential race after a politicized Supreme Court had controversially cleared the way for his presidency in 2000.

Did Trump start a war to hide the Epstein files? One Senate candidate says yes

(March 2, 2026)

Graham Platner, who is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins, told a crowd Sunday night that Mr. Trump and his wealthy allies — what he calls the “Epstein class” — are sacrificing American lives to protect their political interests.

“This war is also being pushed because Donald Trump is in the Epstein files,” Mr. Platner said after reports of the first U.S. casualties. “They are willing to sacrifice the lives of young American men and women and the lives of Iranian civilians simply to protect their political interests. I cannot think of a more reprehensible act.”
