Jeffrey Epstein

From The Hill newspaper, Senate unanimously approves bill to force release of Epstein files. No doubt that Pres. Trump will quickly sign the measure. Also from The Hill, The Senate agreed by unanimous consent Tuesday to approve a House-passed bill to require the Justice Department to release all unclassified records and documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, sending the bill to President Trump’s desk for a signature. UNCLASSIFED?

From the BBC, Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files. USA Today reports, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide. Trump and the Republicans have nothing to hide because there are no “Epstein files,” at least not in the sense understood in the fever swamps. What is imagined to exist is a list of names (in Epstein’s handwriting?

Jeffrey Epstein was a Democrat, and his friends and associates were overwhelmingly Democrats. He was prominent in academic circles, and was an insider at both Harvard and MIT. The only politician with whom he is known to have had a relatively significant relationship was Bill Clinton. Yet, the Democrats, in their ceaseless search for issues to distract from their own performance in office, have tried to link Epstein to President

From Politico, House plans to vote Tuesday on releasing Epstein files. I expect the vote will pass with a big margin. Then what? Where are the files? What’s in the files? What is the point of this exercise? After it passes the House, the bill would then go to the Senate (where it won’t pass) and then to Pres. Trump (who won’t sign it). But it will generate headlines all

Byron York made an excellent suggestion today, The fever swamps have become so excited about the Epstein emails that we need someone to come up with a new grand unified theory to fit the tidbits. I don’t have one. In fact, the more I look into the Epstein matter, the more the real meaning recedes beyond the horizon. About those emails: The Hill: Looming House vote deepens Trump’s Epstein woes

I was on the U.S. Report on Sky News Thursday evening with James Morrow. We talked about three subjects, all of which I have written about here on Power Line: Donald Trump’s libel case against the New York Times and others, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s pledge to go after “hate speech,” and the growing possibility that the Jeffry Epstein narrative may largely be myth. If those topics sound interesting, here

Most of us think we know the Jeffrey Epstein story: he was a wealthy financier who liked underage girls, who was well connected in business, academic and political circles, who furnished girls to others and thereby became the center of a pedophile ring that encompassed some of the world’s elite, and who may have blackmailed some of those individuals. But how true is that story? At First Things, Matthew Schmitz

Jeffrey Epstein has been dead for six years, and during the four years of the Biden administration he was largely forgotten. Earlier this year Epstein enjoyed a brief revival of sorts, as desperate Democrats tried to link him to President Trump. But that effort was obviously futile, because 1) whatever his faults, Trump is not a pervert, and 2) if Trump had a disreputable connection to Epstein, we would have

The House Oversight Committee chaired by James Comer has stepped into the Jeffrey Epstein controversy. Yesterday, the committee subpoenaed records relating to Epstein investigations from the Department of Justice, and appearances for deposition testimony by attorneys general from Alberto Gonzales through Merrick Garland, along with Robert Mueller, James Comey, and Bill and Hillary Clinton. The depositions are scheduled to begin on August 18 and culminate with Bill Clinton on October

The Jeffrey Epstein hysteria continues today with the Wall Street Journal story reporting that President Trump wrote Epstein a fiftieth birthday letter in 2003, some 22 years ago. President Trump denies the story and vows to sue the Journal. I would like to think that the Journal story represents the Epstein apex and that it’s downhill from here, but I wouldn’t bet on it. The fever pitch will continue for
