Democrats have officially started identifying individuals whose names were previously hidden in the official Jeffrey Epstein files, the Telegraph reports. This move comes as frustration grows within the House Judiciary Committee regarding the lack of action from federal authorities. Leon Botstein, the former president of Bard College, is the first significant figure to be named in this new push for accountability.
The situation unfolded after Jamie Raskin, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Bard College. This correspondence directly linked Botstein to several emails found within the tranche of documents relating to the Epstein investigation. One specific email from May 2014, which was attributed to Botstein, contained a troubling inquiry to Epstein regarding a young woman. The author asked if the woman was “for me, or are you keeping her for yourself”.
