About this episode
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein that suggest Donald Trump may have known about Epstein’s sex-abuse operations. In one, Epstein writes that Trump “knew about the girls.” The White House has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing by Trump or meaningful connection to Epstein’s alleged crimes, and downplayed the new revelations as part of a “fake narrative.” But House Democrats are pressing for a vote on legislation to release more Epstein documents. Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democratic member of the Oversight Committee, speaks on the latest developments.
