A senior Democrat has demanded a watchdog investigation following the emergence of photographs that suggest the Justice Department has been monitoring the search history of lawmakers. These politicians were reviewing files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the leading Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has formally requested the Justice Department's inspector general to probe what he described as "spying" on members of Congress. The lawmakers had been examining less-redacted versions of the Epstein documents this week at a department annex, utilizing department-owned computers.
