Rep. Jamie Raskin says he found clear proof of a Department of Justice cover-up after looking at newly released files about Jeffrey Epstein. Raskin checked unredacted documents at a special DOJ office. He says officials purposely removed a key quote from Epstein’s lawyers that goes against what President Donald Trump has said publicly about his ties with the convicted sex offender.
Raskin shared what he found after visiting the DOJ office, which was set up so Congress members could review original versions of the files before Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony on Wednesday. The congressman said the hidden quote was in an email that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell. That email had a summary from Epstein’s legal team about a conversation they had with Trump’s lawyers back in 2009.
