TURNING TO WASHINGTON, D.C.... CONGRESS IS BACK IN SESSION, AND THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN FILES ARE BACK IN THE NEWS.
CONGRESSMAN JAMES COMER OF KENTUCKY'S FIRST DISTRICT IS THE CHAIR OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
YESTERDAY, HIS COMMITTEE RELEASED ABOUT 33,000 DOCUMENTS RELATED TO EPSTEIN'S SEX CRIMES AND WHO KNEW ABOUT THEM.
HE SAYS THE DOCUMENT RELEASE IS PROOF OF THE REPUBLICAN DESIRE FOR TRANSPARENCY ABOUT EPSTEIN.
>> WE HAVE THE DOCUMENTS THE INITIAL BATCH THAT HAD BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE WHITE HOUSE.
AS YOU KNOW WE ALSO SUBPOENAED PAM BONDI FOR THE DOCUMENTS.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS WORKING WITH US.
I WANT TO THANK THE WHITE HOUSE FOR TURNING OVER SO MANY DOCUMENTS THUS FAR.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPLOADING THE DOCUMENTS SO EVERYONE IN AMERICA CAN SEE THOSE DOCUMENTS.
AS QUICK AS WE CAN GET THEM UPLOADED, 34,000 PAGES WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THOSE UPLOADED.
WE WANT THEM TO BE PUBLIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BRING IN MORE PEOPLE.
WE LEARNED OF ADDITIONAL NAMES TODAY.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GIVE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THE TRANSPARENCY THEY SEEK AS WELL AS PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS WHO HAVE ALREADY PASSED AWAY AS WELL AS THOSE IN THE ROOM AND OTHERS WHO HAVEN'T COME FORWARD.
WE ARE SINCERE ABOUT THIS.
TIES WAS A TWO-AND-A-HALF HOUR DISCUSSION IT WAS A BIPARTISAN AS ANYTHING I'VE SEEN IN THE NINE YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE.
APPRECIATE THE SPEAKER FOR GIVING US THE AUTHORITY TO SEEK OUT EVERYTHING THAT I THINK YOU ALL WANT AND THE PEOPLE I TALK TO AS I TRAVEL AMERICA WANT.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THE ANSWERS AND DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
CONGRESSMAN THOMAS MASSIE OF KENTUCKY'S FOURTH DISTRICT SAYS THE DOCUMENT RELEASE DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO PROVIDING THE TRANSPARENCY AMERICANS WANT TO SEE.
"I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS...
ALREADY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN."
MASSIE CONTINUES TO PUSH FOR CONGRESS TO BYPASS COMMITTEES AND TAKE A DIRECT VOTE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
THEY ARE ALLOWING THE DOJ IS CURATE THE INFORMATION.
IF YOU HAVE LOOKED AT THE PAGES THEY ARE HEAVILY REDACTED, SOME PAGES ARE ENTIRELY REDACTED AND 97% IS ALREADY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
